What would create these strange characters in the DateTime to String conversion?
I have some code that writes DateTime
to some output files:
DateTime dateTime = DateTime::Now;
String^ value = String::Format("{0} {1}", dateTime.ToShortDateString(), dateTime.ToLongTimeString());
... which seems to give some odd outputs on the client machine:
2014-12-16 오전 12:00:00
What might be causing these extra characters to appear?

This is reasonable enough if the user is in a different region - you should ask your client what their system language is. Use an invariant culture if you want a machine readable format. For example:
String^ value = dateTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",
CultureInfo::InvariantCulture);

By using the CultureInfo class , you can always maintain constant date format. Even after accessing a page or file elsewhere. By defining as below
For Ex:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
