you can use these two lines of code (in the designer if you want to change the Dateime format for datagridview for example) System . Threading . Thread . CurrentThread . CurrentCulture = new System . Globalization . CultureInfo (  ar-sy   true ) ; System . Threading . Thread . CurrentThread . CurrentUICulture = new System . Globalization . CultureInfo (  ar-sy   true ) ;
