DateTimePicker control date format help reqd

[Guest]

Hi all,

Can I customise the format of the date to dd-mm-yyyy with the control I have
from the link below ? I have the control working ok, just need the VB.net
code to do this. Thanks in advance

as provided, this sample control only supports short and long formats - no
custom formats.
you could either extend this control's capabilities or look at VS2005 and
CF2.0 which has
a DTP with custom formatting support.

Hi Greg,
There is a custom format property in DateTimePicker control shipped with Visual Developer Suite
you can try it at http://www.labitweb.com/pocketpc_controls_vds.aspx

Take a look at OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker control from SDF
[1]. To set custom date format write the following code in OnLoad event
of your form:

<vb.net>
dateTimePicker.CustomFormat = "dd-mm-yyyy"
dateTimePicker.Format = OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
</vb.net>
