You can use DateTimeFormatInfo of System.Globalization.

See below code : 

using System.Globalization;

string strDate = @"9/18/2012 15:51:21";
DateTimeFormatInfo dtinfo = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
dtinfo.ShortDatePattern = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:MM TT";
DateTime resultDate = Convert.ToDateTime(dateStrings, dtinfo);

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
DateTime dateGregorian = new DateTime(System.DateTime.Now.Year, System.DateTime.Now.Month, System.DateTime.Now.Day);

How about this:

DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm tt");

But when your system switches to Spanish the result will be 2:00 instead of 2:00 PM.

Check this

CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");string dateStrings = @"9/18/2012 15:51:21" ;DateTime result = DateTime.Parse(dateStrings, provider);

This code is running fine with the Desktop application.

But not with the metro style apps with C#.
