Description

Converts a TDateTime value to a string, using the local settings for displaying date and time.

The first form of DateTimeToStr is not thread-safe, because it uses localization information contained in global variables. The second form of DateTimeToStr, which is thread-safe, refers to localization information contained in the AFormatSettings parameter. Before calling the thread-safe form of DateTimeToStr, you must populate AFormatSettings with localization information. To populate AFormatSettings with a set of default locale values, call TFormatSettings.Create.

Attention: When exactly at midnight the DateTimeToStrfunction does not display the time portion. Use DateTimeToString instead to always display the time portion.
