How can I set a DateTimePicker control to a specific date?

Question

How can I set a DateTimePicker control to a specific date (yesterday's date) in C# .NET 2.0?

Answer 1

Just need to set the value property in a convenient place (such as InitializeComponent()):

    dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1);

Answer 2

This oughta do it.

DateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1).Date;

Answer 3

You can set the "value" property

dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today;

Answer 4

Use the Value property.

MyDateTimePicker.Value = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1);

DateTime.Today holds today's date, from which you can subtract 1 day (add -1 days) to become yesterday.

DateTime.Now, on the other hand, contains time information as well. DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1) will return this time one day ago.

Answer 5

dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today();
