Body
The strict answer to this question: <blockquote> Is there some way to do it apart from implementing it myself? I'm willing to use third-party libraries. </blockquote> Is no, unless a third party has done this already, you'll need to implement your own format string parser. I share the opinion of most respondents that the effort required to do that is utterly out of proportion to the alternative of simply memorizing the DateTime formats already provided (or referring to their documentation). But, if you did undertake such effort, you would want to implement an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.icustomformatter.aspx" rel="nofollow">ICustomFormatter</a>, and an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.iformatprovider.aspx" rel="nofollow">IFormatProvider</a> that would provide it when requested. See the ICustomFormatter documentation linked above for an example, but your task will involve providing a <code>Format(string format, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider)</code> method that takes a string in the format you are interested in and uses it to turn the DateTime passed in <code>arg</code> into a string matching that pattern. Once this is done, and you have an IFormatProvider whose <code>GetFormat()</code> method returns your custom formatter, your sample code would look like this: <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>DateTime someDate = DateTime.Now; Console.WriteLine(someDate.ToString("Wed, June 12", new CustomDateFormatter())); </code></pre>

1. COGuess what - out of curiosity I tried implementing my own formatter and format provider, but it didn't work. Reflecting the code for DateTime.ToString() revealed that you should always return a DateTimeFormatInfo object from GetFormat and your implementation of ICustomFormatter will never be called. Is this a bug in .NET or on purpose?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
