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 name of the DateTimePicker on the form using the
Name Property. You can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time:It is the easiest way to set the name of 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 name of the DateTimePicker control programmatically with the help of given syntax:
public string Name { get; set; }
The following steps show how to set the name of the DateTimePicker dynamically:
// Creating a DateTimePicker DateTimePicker dt = new DateTimePicker();
// Setting the name dt.Name = "MyPicker";
// 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);
}
}
}
