Setting default value of DateTimePicker
25,370
Setting the Value
property should do the trick:
DateTimePicker.Value = DateTime.Today.AddYears(-100);
And since it's type is DateTime
, you don't need any ToString
conversions.

Currently my DateTimePickers are blank, I would like them to have a default setting i.e
Today.AddYears(20); & Today.AddDays(5);
What I have done at the moment is 'DateTimePicker.Text = DateTime.Today.AddYears(-100).ToString();' As you can probably tell, this isn't working hence why I'm asking the question.
Bit of information :- I need it so that if they arent changed and the button is pressed it uses the default dates. If they are changed, I obviously need to use the changed dates.
Suggestions.
XAML ADDED:
<igEditors:XamDateTimeEditor Name="startDateTimePicker" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" xmlns:igEditors="http://infragistics.com/Editors" Height="18" Width="100" Format="yyyy-MM-dd" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
