'datetime format in URL

I have input tag(InputDate) in EditForm in Blazor file.

<div class="form-group">
   <label>Check In Date</label>
      <InputDate @bind-Value="HomeModel.StartDate" class="form-control" min="@DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")" type="text"/>
</div>

then submit this to api server.

But problem is DateTime format with Url, it shows

https://localhost:44320/api/hotelroom?checkInDate=04.%2012.%202022&checkOutDate=04.%2013.%202022

So the return value is 400 error.

When I check this datetime format with swagger, nothing problem.

StartDate is checkInDate in Url.

when I try to debug, checkInDate shows like '04. 11. 2022'.

I expect this as 04/11/2022.

My pc is set for Japan. Without changing local pc's time setting, is there any way to fix this?

Even though I used 'ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")' method to trans parameter as string, the url always was like this

04.%2012.%202022

So I used provider

ToString("MM/dd/yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"))

Then everything is good. string format can't surpass OS system setting.

Thank you all guys replied to my question.

Another possible solution it's changing the culture of the project when you run it, so in your startup class you should add:

app.UseRequestLocalization(options =>
{
    var supportedCultures = new[] { "en-US" };
    options.AddSupportedCultures(supportedCultures)
        .AddSupportedUICultures(supportedCultures)
        .SetDefaultCulture("en-US");
});

Using provider like

ToString("MM/dd/yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"))

Will force you to set every ToString with the new culture info (which can be tedious on a large scale)
