Is it possible to add the word "at" between a Date and Time format? I tried to add it just like this "dddd, d MMM, yyyy at HH:mm" but the webapp is tranforming it into "aA" or "aP" depending of regional configuration CA or AU

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, d MMM, yyyy at HH:mm"));

I forgot to say. I must be as a format string and no complex or concat functions.
