  DateTimePicker dt = new DateTimePicker();
  

• Step 2: After creating DateTimePicker, set the MinDate property of the DateTimePicker provided by the DateTimePicker class.

  // Setting the minimum date and time 
  dt.MinDate = new DateTime(1753, 1, 1);
  

• Step 3: And last add this DateTimePicker control to the form using the following statement:

  // 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);
    }
