DateTimePicker Control

[mediker27]

On using Visual Basic, one of the most common control used to display a Date and Time is DateTimePicker, DateTimePicker is just like a combobox. If you click a dropdown arrow it displays a month calendar. And using this control it allows you to select Date and Time by modifying the format properties of this control.

This time let’s create a new project called “DateTimePicker”. Then add four DateTimePicker and button control from the toolbox. Then arrange it same as shown below:

Then we will change the Format property of DateTimePicker2 to “short”, DateTimePicker3 to “Time” and the DateTimePicker3 to “Custom”. Next, we will add some code to the show button in line with every DateTimePicker. This code will help programmer to get text or value from the DateTimePicker selected by the user and store in some or Database.
