You may set the format to custom then you will be able to get it as date format.

you can access the current date selected from the date time picker from .Text property in code.

i need current date in short format only, .text not working

Solution 2

I tested it in my System.
Setting Format to 'Short/Custom' works fine for showing only Date in the Control.
And if u want to use the current date or selected date from it, then you can use the 'Text' property of control like this:

C#

label1.Text = dateTimePicker1.Text;

It's working fine with me.
Check out.

I hope you got your answer.
But dude, by default DateTimePicker control shows current date only.
I don't know if it's working perfectly in your System or not.
But this how this control behave.

Solution 4

string todayDate = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

It will give to just today's date with standard format
