Also, Have you considered using only one date picker?

Solution 1

Try:

C#

DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact( txtDate.Text, "MMMM yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture );

//you can interchange the above format to: yyyy MMMM

And by the way, "YYYY" is not a valid format!

Goodluck
