Remove SendKeys command and let users control where they want to write.

dear i am creating program for user to enter data about employees.
my code very long ,but the important code about this issue is :

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}");

}

i think the problem in the event it self , because when i change the day then the month just and add the data to the data base by pressing a button , then again come back to the datetimepiker the courser move to the year because i did not change the year before.
now i want way to change the focus on the day when i come back to the dtetimepiker.

Perhaps you could send a SendKeys.Send("{HOME}") by the DateTimePicker-Enter-Event.
But it sounds crazy for me because what happens if you have opened the MonthCalendar ...?

for that reason i change the showupdown property for datetimepiker to true

Just remove sendkeys. Wouldn't valuechanged trigger twice if someone enters two-digit number in day field (i.e. 14)?

just put SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}") in function and call it in valuechange event for the datetimepiker,and in click event for button that used to add the data to the data base write dateTimePicker1.Focus(); and call the function again .:

C#

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DoTheStuff();

}


private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{


    dateTimePicker1.Focus();
    DoTheStuff();
}
private void DoTheStuff()
{
    SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}");
}
