Answer 1

Unfortunately there isn't such a Cell or Column Type you can use (as far as i know). But Microsoft provides an example on how to get a NumericUpDown (that also doesn't exist) into a DataGridView.

Maybe you can adopt this example to get your DateTimePicker into a DataGridView.

There is an example of exactly this thing on MSDN. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx
