Hi,

I am working on a desktop application. Here i want to use dataTimePicker in DataGridView to select a date in DataGridView cell. I have created a new DataGridViewColumn, DataGridViewCell and new control inherited from DateTimePicker and implementing IDataGridViewEditingControl as given in microsoft atricle of "How to: Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells." and included the library containing above classes in my project.

But when i open datagridview columns editing page in designer i can not see the new defined column type in the ColumnType List.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Look at the MSDN help page for the System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell. What is the type of its Value? Right, it's System.Object. It means: you can host nearly anything.

Please see:

This is a short manual on hosting controls in the cells of DataGridView:
