DateTimePicker Control (Windows Forms)
Visual Studio .NET 2003
The Windows Forms DateTimePicker control allows the user to select a single item from a list of dates or times. It appears in two parts: a drop-down list with a date or time represented in text, and a grid that appears when you click on the down-arrow next to the list. The grid looks like the MonthCalendar control, which can be used for selecting multiple dates.
