In Windows Forms, the DateTimePicker control is used to select and display date/time with a specific format in your form. In DateTimePicker control, you can set the maximum date and time that can be selected in the DateTimePicker using the
MaxDate Property. The default value of this property is December 31st, 9998 12 am. You can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time:It is the easiest way to set the maximum date and time in the DateTimePicker as shown in the following steps:
2. Run-Time:It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the maximum date and time in the DateTimePicker control programmatically with the help of given syntax:
public DateTime MaxDate { get; set; }
It will throw an ArgumentException if the value of this property is not less than the MaxDate value and also throw a
SystemExceptionif the value of this property is less than the MinDateTime value. The following steps show how to set the maximum date and time in the DateTimePicker dynamically:
// Creating a DateTimePicker DateTimePicker dt = new DateTimePicker();
// Setting the maximum date and time dt.MaxDate = new DateTime(2500, 12, 20);
// Adding this control to the form this.Controls.Add(dt);
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApp48 {
public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Creating and setting the
// properties of the Label
Label lab = new Label();
lab.Location = new Point(183, 162);
lab.Size = new Size(172, 20);
lab.Text = "Select Date and Time";
lab.Font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", 12);
// Adding this control
// to the form
this.Controls.Add(lab);
// Creating and setting the
// properties of the DateTimePicker
DateTimePicker dt = new DateTimePicker();
dt.Location = new Point(360, 162);
dt.Size = new Size(292, 26);
dt.MaxDate = new DateTime(2500, 12, 20);
dt.MinDate = new DateTime(1753, 1, 1);
dt.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Long;
dt.Name = "MyPicker";
dt.Font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", 12);
dt.Visible = true;
dt.Value = DateTime.Today;
// Adding this control
// to the form
this.Controls.Add(dt);
}
}
}
