Hai...

We can keep datetimepicker field as blank by setting datetimepicker Format to "Custom" and CustomFormat to "blank space". This will display the datetimepicker field as null but the value doesnt change to null.That cone be handle in ur code.

dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat =""; //a string with one whitespace
