See more:

To my understanding anything displayed to user should use the currentUICulture(dd/MM/yyyy) but in my case date format in datagridviewcolumn uses the currentculture(yyyy/MM/dd) format instead.
Any Idea ???

Thanking you in advance

You appear to be misunderstanding CurrentUICulture.
From the docs:
"This property is used by the ResourceManager class to look up culture-specific resources at run time."
Where, for CurrentCulture:
"This information determines the default formats for dates, times, currency, and numbers; the sorting order of text; string comparisons; and casing. "

can you elaborate on currentUICulture used by the resourcemanager class to look up culture-specific resources at run time.
