c# Datetime bound textbox removes starting 0s

In c# Winforms, I have a textbox which is databound to a DateTime column in my database.
When I type in something like the following into the textbox
05/12/1977
Once the textbox loses focus, the first 0 is removed so that it says
5/12/1977.
The reason this is a problem is because I actually want to use masked textbox so the /'s are already in the textbox for the user. But once the 0 is removed, the date gets messed up like so
51/21/977_
The date still saves correctly but this causes some of my form validation to not react properly since it views the masked textbox as not being completed. Anyone know of a way to prevent that first 0 from being removed?
Thanks!

This is just a problem with culture info. Since my textbox was databinded to a DateTime variable, all I had to do was change the method in which DateTime's are displayed as strings. The following code in my constructor of my GUI form fixed the problem
var culture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Clone() as CultureInfo;
culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "MM/dd/yyyy";
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;

To Display only current date selected in datetime picker

I have a datetime picker in windows form. When i am selecting a date it shows the last selected date and current date. But i want to shows only current date always. It should not show last selected date and current date(both) on the selection dropdown.
public FieldControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
dtpDate.Value = DateTime.Now;
}

Hello Kumar is right,
but what is sense of selectable date and time component where is only one option to select?
Isn't better to make datetimepicker disabled? At least it's less confusing for user and by default actual date is selected when datetimepicker is dispayed.

Try this :
you can get just today's date as a DateTime using the Today property:
dtpDate.Value = DateTime.Today;
if you want to show only current date in your datepicker then use this code:
dtpDate.MinDate = dtpDate.MaxDate = DateTime.Now;

You can't do it on the picker. But you can fake it. Resize the dateTimePicker so it only shows the pick button. Then place it next to a textbox. In the onClose event you write the selected value to the textbox, and set the value of the dateTimePicker back to Today.

remove date from DateTimePicker for Compact Framework

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446530.aspx
but there is no possibility to null date or to delete date from text field.
how to remove date from textfield or how to connect TextField with DateTimePicker

To display blank you can set it as
DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "";
and then reset the format in ValueChanged event to the desired format. The picker doesn't allow null values since it requires a valid DateTime object.
You may choose to have a custom control also as found here

get the value of date picker used in gridview

i have create dynamic datepicker inside gridview. i want to know how to get the values of the datepicker
help me out!!
i have used this line
DateTime date2 = DateTime.Parse(((TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[3].FindControl("frmdate_endtime")).Text);

Why not cast the control to the appropriate date/time picker class and take the value from that directly? You shouldn't need to parse the text.
