format for datetimepicker

[lab3terch]

I am working on a program where I have two datetimepickers and need the difference in days between the two dates. I have the format property for both set to short. When I add the datetimepicker to a label it prints as 12:00:00AM instead of as a date.. How do I format this to return tghe day of the month selected in the picker?

Dim d1 As Date = DateTimePicker1.Value
Dim d2 As Date = DateTimePicker2.Value
totdays = DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, d2, d1)

Thanks for any guidance.

The dtpicker would be returning a date variable, and when you print one of those or move to a string, time-only is the default format. The Format() function should do the trick. Just look up the parameters for date/time formats in the online help. Sample:

Label1.Caption = Format(d1,"d") ' Extract day of month.

What version of VB are you using?

Maybe you could try:

totdays = DateDiff("d",d1,d2)

Thanks Suresh. This might be a bit late, though. The last message in this thread was in November last year.
