Example code output different than when run locally

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

In the second code example under Calendars and cultures, the example output doesn't match what I see when I run the code on my computer.

The documentation shows:

// The example displays the following output:
//    Current Culture: en-US
//    Current Calendar: System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar
//    6/20/2011
//
//    Current Culture: ar-SA
//    Current Calendar: System.Globalization.UmAlQuraCalendar
//    18/07/32
//
//    Current Culture: ar-SA
//    Current Calendar: System.Globalization.HijriCalendar
//    19/07/32

But when I run the code locally I see:

Current Culture: en-US
Current Calendar: System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar
6/20/2011

Current Culture: ar-SA
Current Calendar: System.Globalization.UmAlQuraCalendar
18??/7??/1432 ??? ??????

Current Culture: ar-SA
Current Calendar: System.Globalization.HijriCalendar
19??/7??/1432 ??? ??????

Notice the second two date formats have question marks when run on my computer.

I will take a look into this, will run it locally and see, CC: @BillWagner.
@JVimes Any specifics about the environment you're using? .NET version, Win10 or 11, etc.?

@BartoszKlonowski Thanks! .NET 10, Windows 11, English/US system, default console app template.

@JVimes I can confirm - this was the case of incorrect formatting of the dates being displayed using different calendars than the culture, plus the formatting couldn't handle the simple d format, so I had to apply "manual" format.
Feel free to help out by checking it locally if you have a spare minute :)
