DateTimePicker: pick both date and time
I'm using a WinForm DateTime picker and it does a fantastic job of choosing dates, but I don't know how to do times. It looks like a time is associated with the value, so maybe there's a way to use this to pick a time?
If there is no built in way to do this, I'll just create another box for the time and modify the DateTime value from the DateTime picker.
Thanks!
You can use the built in DateTime picker by adding a custom format string as follows:
DateTimePicker.ShowUpDown = true;
DateTimePicker.CustomFormat = "hh:mm";
DateTimePicker.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
Enjoy!
You can either choose the datepicker to have a "long" date, even only "time" or you can create your custom date.
I always use this format, as it's the most easy one to understand for users (IMHO): yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm
This can be done in the designer the fastest, just change the property.
Or, change it in the program with
YourDatePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
YourDatePicker.CustomFormat = "yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm";
The DateTimePicker works pretty much like how setting the Windows clock works. If you set the ShowUpDown property to true, it displays a spin control to the right of the DateTimePicker. If you then click on a section of the control, such as the time in hours, and then hit the up or down arrow of the spin control, it will change the time in hours.
Also, if you want to use a custom DateTime format, change the Format property to Custom and set the flags you'd like. For example, MM dddd yyyy HH:mm:ss. For an explanation of all the custom format specifiers, here's the full list of them from MSDN.
Hope that helps.

In visual studio (I'm using 2019), during debugging, when I hover over a DateTime object, it shows the date in Ticks instead of a readable date string (such as YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, etc).
The picture below shows this annoying behavior.
I remember in my old visual studio 2017, it showed date-time objects in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.ttt" format.
How do I change this?
I agree with reynoldsbj. I think you have pinned the Ticks property in the LoadAreaTo Drop down menu bar so that it will overwrite the default Date property.
This is a video about the detailed description:
You should unpin the property Ticks so that it will show date-time objects in YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.tt format.
Click the dropdown in that previewer and unpin Ticks or pin Date if you want to see both.
The date in "Today" is set to system date by default. I have a requirement in the application where I want to change today to some specific date different from default. Any idea how can this be changed in DateTimePicker control in Winforms?
I have a DatePicker which displays the date only and a separate TextBox that displays the time. Both elements use TwoWay binding.
My issue is that when ever I adjust the date using the DatePicker, my time resets to 00:00. Is there a way to disable this behavior and leave the TimeOfDay alone? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
I know I could grab the time with a GotFocus event and then manually restore, but it seems messy.
The DatePicker and TextBox should be bound to two different source properties, a DateTime? and a TimeSpan respectively.
The built-in DatePicker control selects only a date without any specific time so it makes no sense to try to display the time of the selected date in a TextBox.
I am trying to write a radio alarm clock as a bit of programming practice, I have successfully got a clock working in a line or two. When it comes however to having the use select an alarm time I don't know how to collect the information.
A date time picker can pass a date and time it would seem, but I can only figure out how to select the date which is the part I don't want.
Are there any other objects i can put on a form so a user can select a time to set the alarm?
If you like to manipulate only the Time with a DateTimePicker, the following code should work according to this MSDN article:
timePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
timePicker.ShowUpDown = true;
I haev an object with a DateTime property. I want to map the time to a textbox (thus want the user enter the time, it's directly reverberated to my property).
However I just want to display the time. How can I say this (ie the format should be something like hh:mm to be correct).
Less specifcly how can I format the text "sent" to the object and the other way too ?
Thx
You can specify "HH:mm" as the binding's FormatString
If you need more complex formatting than what a format string can provide, you can handle the Format event of the binding, which enables you to provide your own formatting logic
