           Summary: DateTime.ToLongDateString() does not return locale's
                    full long date
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.6.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: RHEL 4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: misc

Created an attachment (id=426129)
 --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=426129)
test source file that illustrates bug

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9.0.19)
Gecko/2010031422 Firefox/3.0.19 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When using the System.DateTime struct, the ToLongDateString() does not always
return the locale's full long date, including the full day of the week name. 
This applies to locales other than en_US.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the attached cs file
2. Run Program.exe
3. Observe incorrect results
Actual Results:  
using the de_CH locale, mono runtime returns:

Long Date = 21. April 2011



Expected Results:  
On .NET, the same program (de_CH locale) returns

Long Date = Donnerstag, 21. April 2011

Notice the long date format - mono does not show the day of the week (name)
while .Net does.

Same issue with DateTime.Now.ToString("D")
