Hello Experts,

I was looking for something like. I want to Disable / Grey out all the Dates in Date time picker in my Form that are before Current Date.
I tried the below code. And It doesn't disable instead it just show empty white space which is what I don't want. I actually want to grey out the dates.

dtStart.MinDate = Today

All the google Searches directed me to some third party controls which I cannot use them in project for some reason. Is there any way that I can grey out/ disable the dates before Current Date(Today's Date)

Third party sometimes means custom control ;)

You have no choice but to make your own version of the control and provide the code to render it yourself.

All of the DatePicker controls I've ever seen don't show anything beyond the MinDate and MaxDate values.
