The following code example creates a new instance of a DateTimePicker control and initializes it. The control's CustomFormat property is set. Also, the ShowCheckBox property is set so that the control displays a CheckBox, and the ShowUpDown property is set so that the control is displayed as a spin button control (also known as an up-down control).
public void CreateMyDateTimePicker() { // Create a new DateTimePicker control and initialize it. DateTimePicker dateTimePicker1 = new DateTimePicker(); // Set the MinDate and MaxDate. dateTimePicker1.MinDate = new DateTime(1985, 6, 20); dateTimePicker1.MaxDate = DateTime.Today; // Set the CustomFormat string. dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "MMMM dd, yyyy - dddd"; dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom; // Show the CheckBox and display the control as an up-down control. dateTimePicker1.ShowCheckBox = true; dateTimePicker1.ShowUpDown = true; }
