Do these formatting conventions mean something?

String.Format("{0:d}", item.ReleaseDate)

In the above code 'd' is used for location holder for item.ReleaseDate

Whereas in

String.Format("{0:c}", item.Price)

'c' is used for placeholder for item.Price.

Are there any constraints that only d should be used for DateTime and c should be used for price?

Pardon me am a noob in technical conventions. Please correct me in the conventions too.

d for decimal, c for currency in your example. Meaning can be changed depending on the variable that will be used in place of the placeholder

And, these conventions are very much language specific. Rules of one language may not be valid for others.
