I am trying to write an app in C# that requires the user to enter a date
from 4000 B.C.E to 4000 C.E. I tried to use the DateTimePicker Control
to allow the user to enter the date, but it only supports the Gregorian
Calendar, so the earliest date it allows is in 1752 C.E.
Is there a way to override the DateTimePicker control's minimum allowed
date, or am I forced to resort to the less user-friendly use of three
separate text boxes for month, day and year?

You can extend the DateTimePicker control, there is a sample in: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/select...imepicker.aspx
Before extending you need to be aware of the following facts:
DateTimePicker has a date range: 1 Jan 1753 - 31 Dec 9998
System.DateTime type has date range: 1 Jan 0001 - 31 Dec 9999
SQL Server DateTime type has date range: 1 Jan 1753 - 31 Dec 9999

Thank you very much for the link. I do have one more question.
If I extend the DateTimePicker to accept the dates I require, I
shouldn't need to worry about the limitations you listed above as long
as I'm handling all the actual processing of the dates with my own code,
correct? ... Or will the System.DateTime limitation still be a problem?
(SQL Server's not going to be in the picture for this project.)

I have extended the datetimepicker control to incorporate
a ReadOnly property.
I have used the new keyword to implement my own version
of the value property, so that if readonly == true then
it will not set the value of the control and will leave
the checked status of the checkbox to false when a user
selects a new date.
this works fine when using the control on a win2k machine
but if we use it on a win XP box and call

How to make DateTime to do not show nothing in its

LastLogonDate. If user hasn't logon yet this date should
be empty but when binding a property to the DateTimePicker value it always
shows value parsed
prom property which is 1753-01-01. How to make
an "empty" or "not set" date bindable to a value property

When adding a new record from my form, I pre-set my DateTimePicker's value to
System.DateTime.Today
Since the "Today" value is used most of the time, the user doesn't need to
select a date from the DateTimePicker, since the default is shown. My problem
is, if the user does not choose a value from the DateTimePicker (because
using the default is good enough), then during database update, the date
value is not saved to the database; while if...

I'm trying to modify an older VB6 program and use the DateTimePicker control to give the user the ability to display and modify the system date and time. The VB6 documentation says it is available (e.g. not a newer .NET control), and is part of the Active-X (.ocx) called MSCOMCT2.OCX (in the \winnt\system32 directory), which I can see that it is there.
When I go to add the control to my project (e.g. Projects -> Components) and scroll down...

I have workarounds but i'd like to know the root of the problem. I've

what's going on.
It's a simple program that loads a control onto a form and binds "Foo"

datetimepicker ("Value") for it's "DateTime" property. The

Hello,
I posted this about a month ago but didn't get any response, so I thought
I'd rephrase it. I have a DateTimePicker set for Up/Down Time format
(HH:mm:ss). The problem is that when I click past 59 seconds the minutes do
not increment, and similarly for minutes affecting hours. Also, similarly
for clicking backwards from 00. I've seen this work in other applications so
it must be simple. I could use a value changed event and...

Hello:
We were hoping to allow users to have DateTimePicker value null so
that a unused date is stored on a Database. Does the control support
this? I am pretty sure it doesn't.
How would you go about representing this to a user so they are not
confused?
Thanks,

I'm trying to make a datagridview column to act like a datetimepicker column (C#.Net 2005). These are the behaviours that the dgv should have:
1) Initially all the cells of the dtp column should be blank unless they are filled by the user.
2) As soon as the user enters a cell, the dtp control should appear as the editing control of that cell. If there's a value in the cell beforehand, that value is set as the value of the dtp editing control...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
