ASP.NET MVC not rendering correct dateformat using CultureInfo

Reading "DateTimeFormat" using cultureinfo is not getting clients date format with the following code :-
CultureInfo cultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages[0]);
DateTimeFormatInfo dtInfo = cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat;
After debugging the code, the dateformat is not honouring globalization ie.. if the client is in US but application is deployed in UK then the format is rendered correctly. So after looking into this article Globalization, Internationalization and Localization in ASP.NET MVC 3, JavaScript and jQuery Part 1 - by Scott HanselmanI have found that the issue is not with the code but a setting in web.config
globalization enableclientbasedculture="true" uiculture="auto" culture="auto"
Now this has solved the issue.
