You should read the documentation before posting a question... As other point out, there is a MinDate property and from that it should be easy to figure out what to do...

Solution 2

Try this,

dateTimePicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Today;

in Form_Load event.

But i have 2 DateTimePicker; When I click first DateTimePicker and choose date(eg.04/12/13). I click second DateTimePicker , I only want to display 04/12/13 onwards only (dont want to display before 04/12/13).

As far i understand, the first datetimePicker will display normally and you choose a date(say X), and second one will display dates starting from X.

subscribe a event handler(dtp1_ValueChanged) for datatimepicker1's ValueChanged event and try the below code

private void dtp1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//get the value from first datetimepicker
DateTime dt = dateTimePicker1.Value;
//apply the datetime to second one
dateTimePicker2.MinDate = dt;
}

Thanks a lot ...
but i want to display in first datetimePicker from today date and choose date and second one will display dates starting from i chose date.

Okay, so in Form_load event set the mindate for datetimepicker1 to DateTime.today and then handle the event as I gave the code above.

There is MinDate property.

You need to set it to today:

dateTimeOicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Now;

But i have 2 DateTimePicker;
When I click first DateTimePicker and choose date(eg.04/12/13).
I click second DateTimePicker , I only want to display 04/12/13 onwards only (dont want to display before 04/12/13).

Adam Zgagacz 4-Dec-13 10:00am

So when you select value in first DateTimePicker set MidDate in second DateTimePicker to value you just selected.

I want to display in first datetimePicker from today date and then i choose date
and second one will display dates starting from i choose date.

Adam Zgagacz 4-Dec-13 12:12pm

See my prevoius reply: assign selected date from the first control to the minDate property of the second one (do it in ValueChanged event handler). It cannot be simpler than that.

I hesitated to reply with solution for your questions from your comments, since you really should do your homework first. You need to study a little on your own.

But anyway here it goes your solution:

C#

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dateTimePicker2.MinDate = dateTimePicker1.Value;
}

But please try to learn some basics first. This way you will not face problem in every other line of the code you are trying to write. Good luck with it:)

You need to set the min date of that datetime picker to todays date.

dateTimePicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Now;

Best of Luck.

then on selected date changed event of the 1st datetimepicker get the date and this date set as the minimum date for the next datetime picker.

try it.

Philippe Mori 4-Dec-13 23:09pm

It is probably better to set the minimum a midnight by using the appropriate property (Today or Date)

Solution 1

Have you thought about setting the DateTimePicker.Value?

e.g

C#

DateTimePicker.Value = DateTime.Now;

you could set this on the either the form constructor or the form load event

Simon_Whale 5-Dec-13 4:05am

In that case I would use the TextChanged event of the datetimepicker to set the other datetimepickers minvalue (as this wont let you select a date before the value you set).

If you want to reset the date, just reset the min value to todays date i.e. datetime.now, but you will also have to set the value to the datetime.now also.

Philippe Mori 4-Dec-13 23:07pm

You are not really responding to the question and as far as I remember this is what the control display anyway if the date is not explicitly set.

Apologies for not answering the question sooner, I was at work.
