i have tried this.

later to i have to convert this type to DateTime type. But it is not permitting to convert.

Why convert it later to DateTime type. The DateTimePicker.Value property already gives you the DateTime type - no need to convert it later. If it is 'not permitting', then what is the error you get?

Solution 2

Whats the problem with using:
my_DateTimePicker.Value.ToShortDateString(); ?

Use value property and then you can convert it into desired format. Pass it as a string or date datatype. If needed, use Convert.ToDateTime to convert it back into a date and any specific format.
