To display only time in a DateTimePicker, set the Format to Time, and the ShowUpDown property to true.
The following code example sets the CustomFormat property so that the DateTimePicker will display the date as "June 01, 2001 - Friday". This code assumes that an instance of a DateTimePicker control has been created on a Form.
