Description

I have a DatePicker in my application and I want to display the date in this format : 11/26/2019 So I change the Format property as follow :

myDatePicker.Format = "MM/dd/yyyy"
myDatePicker.Date = DateTime.Now;

Above code works fine on Android and iOS , but on UWP ,the display date got this format : November 26 2019 .
