Topic: VB.NET



Expert: Brandon Drake
Date: 7/31/2006
Subject: DateTimePicker

Question
I'm using the DateTimePicker and I set the default date to:  "DateTimePicker1.Value = New DateTime(2006, 1, 1)" in the Form Load routine however, when it displays on the form it displays as: "Sunday   ,  January 1, 2006".  How can I do to supress the day from showing.  

Thanks.  

Answer
Tony,

In order to change the format of the date that is displayed you need to set the "Format" property of the DateTimePicker to "Custom".  You then need to set the "CustomFormat" property of the control to a string representing the format used to display dates.

If you set the CustomFormat property to "MMMM d, yyyy" the dates will be displayed like "January 1, 2006"



Good Luck,

Brandon Drake
