WinForms DateTimePicker Dialog?

15,836

Solution 1

You need to add a DateTimePicker to a form and show the form as a dialog:

var picker = new DateTimePicker();
Form f = new Form();
f.Controls.Add(picker);

var result = f.ShowDialog();
if(result == DialogResult.OK)
{
    //get selected date
}

Solution 2

The DateTimePicker is a Control, not a Form. You'll have to create your own Form and add the control to it; there is not a standard dialog for selecting dates.

    I need to have a pop-up dialog like the Color Dialog or Save Dialog but for choosing a date from a calendar. The DateTimePicker is what I need, but I don't know how to launch this like a pop-up dialog in C#.

    That's what I was afraid of, but is there any way to make a dialog?

    @James: Like I said, you'll just need to create another Form, add the control (and any properties you'll need; I'd assume you'd need one to get/set the value displayed), then instantiate it and call ShowDialog. You'll probably also want to set the FormBorderStyle to FixedDialog.
