date time picker weekly

[gregmalenky]

Visual C# 2005 Express -
I am creating a employee scheduling program for work.

When I need to do is for the program to open with a start date of the
previous sunday. I also want the ability to change the start date to create a
new schedule - however, it must begin on a sunday. I want the sunday date to
be locked in so it doesn't always show the current date when executed. Also
for a prompt to appear if the user tries to use another day other than sunday.

I will also have daily headers for each column with the day and date listed.
Can I just use the datetimepicker value and add "1" to each column?

Thank you,
Greg Malenky

Dunno if this'll help:

It's more designed for having the days as rows and hours as columns though.

Otis,

close to what I need - however, I want the program to open showing the
previous sunday's date (not when the datetimepicker is changed). Also, I need
the program to allow a user to change the date to the following (or future)
sundays. If sunday is not chosen, then a msgbox appears "you must start the
week on sunday"

Thanks,
Greg

private void MainForm_Load(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
// get the day of the week
int weekDay = (int)DateTime.N ow.DayOfWeek;

// Subtracting the week day from the current day yields zero
// (the previous Sunday)
DateTime sunday = DateTime.Now.Ad dDays(weekDay * -1);

//Set the DateTimePicker' s date to the result
dateTimePickerS unday.Value = sunday;
}

Does that do what you want?

Interesting. I thought the example I gave you set the datetime picker to the
previous Sunday and since it's in the FormLoad event it sets the dtp when the
program loads. I think that's two of your requirements. The rest is up to you.
;o)

You didn't test the code or you would have seen the result you wanted.

Load event occurs when the program is opened private void MainForm_Load(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
// get the day of the week
int weekDay = (int)DateTime.N ow.DayOfWeek;

// Subtracting the week day from the current day yields zero
// (the previous Sunday) Does this not set the date to the previous sunday? DateTime sunday = DateTime.Now.Ad dDays(weekDay * -1);

//Set the DateTimePicker' s date to the result
dateTimePickerS unday.Value = sunday;
}
