DotNetDates

I made a little diddy I wanted to share with you all. It's nothing too grand or impressive. I just really like how it turned out and even more happy with the cleanliness of the code.

It's a simple form to play around with date formats in .NET. Here's the GitHub and a screenshot.

It was all written with F# (minus the C# Forms project bit). What is neat though is I only laid out the basic locations of where I wanted things to go using FlowLayoutPanels.

Then passed those to my F# to handle the rest.

using System.Windows.Forms;
using DotNetDates.FSharp;

namespace DotNetDates
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            var form = this;
            FormBuilder.Build(form, flpFormatMethods, flpFormatSpecifiers, flpCustomFormats, flpCreateYourOwn, flpCreateYourOwnResult);
        }
    }
}

I'm curious to read what you think and thanks for checking it out!
