Hello,

is it possible to initialize a DataTimePicker field to null instead of some date;

Thank you.

The inability to set the date time picker to an initial "null" or empty value is one of it's greatest criticisms.

In the first example (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/selection/Nullable_DateTimePicker.aspx ) i added DateTimePicker.cs to my project, what should i do next?
I'm a little bit of confused...

Before going too far with that, I would give Khanna's suggestion above a try. It's a simpler solution but remember to reset the format when a date is selected...

i did but i get blank value only when initialize form, when adding new record i get MinValue.
I read somewhere that it doesn't work with data bindings and my case is with DataNavigator.

Oh! In that case, back to your previous question. If you've added the .cs file to your project, rebuild your project, and in your toolbox you should have a new group which includes the nullable datetimepicker control and can be dragged to your form.

In myProject Components i have a DateTimePicker.
When i drag it into the form i still get MinValue as default...

Should i add some code as well for override the default DateTimePicker?
