Hi All,

I have to change the format of a date in a DateTimePicker.

I do not want to change the date that appears when the calendar is not expanded (the selected date), however, I need to be able to format the date that appears inside the calendar when I expand the DTPicker.

How to grab the inner date (which normally shows the current date)?

Thxs..

That's the point I have tried to explain with my question. The solution provided above only helps format the string on the DateTimePicker.

However, when you expand the picker to show the calendar, you encounter a second date that displays the current date. I need to format that second date and it does not work with the solution above.

Thanks though.
