Hi,

I have a DateTimePicker control.

I want only the date to be displayed, so I changed the format to "custom".
I want the date to be in dd/mm/yyyy format. I did this too but the issue is when I am putting the converted date in to the control it is throwing the error as "input string is not in correct format".

Solution for this please.

MIDL

dtpDate.Text = dr.ItemArray[1].ToString();
                        string n = DateFormat(dtpDate.Value.ToString());
                        dtpDate.Text = "";
                        dtpDate.Text = n.ToString();

C#

private string DateFormat(string dtp)
       {

           string date = dtpDate.Value.Day.ToString() + "/" + dtpDate.Value.Month.ToString() + "/" + dtpDate.Value.Year.ToString();
           //MessageBox.Show(date.ToString());
           return (date.ToString());
       }

C#

public void SetMyCustomFormat()
        {
            // Set the Format type and the CustomFormat string.
            dtpDate.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
            dtpDate.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyy";
        }

i think dtpDate.Text = dr.ItemArray[1].ToString(); is the issue on your code.

before you put the value on your datepicker, you should first check the value in correct date and change it into your own format.

example:

//dtpDate.Text = dr.ItemArray[1].ToString(); dont convert it to string.<br />
DateTime convertedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(dr.ItemArray[1].ToString())<br />
                        string n = DateFormat(convertedDate);<br />
                        dtpDate.Text = string.Empty;<br />
                        dtpDate.Text = n.ToString();<br />
<br />
<br />
private string DateFormat(DateTime dtp)<br />
       {<br />
           string date = dtpDate.Day.ToString() + "/" + dtpDate.Month.ToString() + "/" + dtpDate.Year.ToString();<br />
           //MessageBox.Show(date.ToString());<br />
           return (date.ToString());<br />
       }<br />
<br />
<br />
OR SIMPLEST WAY<br />
<br />
dtpDate.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(dr.ItemArray[1]).ToString("dd/MM/yyy")<br />
<br />
