Dear M.Saqib,

Use the following code to set application date and time at app start up method.

 // Creating a Global Culture specific to our application.
                System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo =
                    new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
                // Creating the DateTime Information specific to our application.
                System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dateTimeInfo =
                    new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
                // Defining various date and time formats.
                dateTimeInfo.DateSeparator = "/";
                dateTimeInfo.LongDatePattern = "dd/MMM/yyyy";
                dateTimeInfo.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MMM/yy";
                dateTimeInfo.LongTimePattern = "hh:mm:ss tt";
                dateTimeInfo.ShortTimePattern = "hh:mm:tt";
                // Setting application wide date time format.
                cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat = dateTimeInfo;
                // Assigning our custom Culture to the application current thread. 
                Application.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
                //End Culture Info
