[RESOLVED] User Controls

Hi There

Im trying to create my own User Control for a Date Time Picker
The purpose of creating my own is so that i can have a readonly text box displaying the date everytime the field is not 'Enabled'. this is my preference to swapping the visibliity of seperate text box over A normal Date time picker.

I have called the Control simply CtlDtp

Sadly im having problems straight off the Bat. I have set up Value Property using the code

Code:

---

public DateTime Value
        {
            get { return Dtp.Value; }
            set { Dtp.Value = Value;}
        }

---

but i can't Change the Value of the property using

Code:

---

CtlDtp.Value = Convert.ToDateTme("09/08/2012")

---

or even by changing the property in the property window

there must be something that i am missing

Maany thanks

Ian

Are you getting an error or something? We're not sitting in your lap, so we can't see what you're seeing, so you'll need to paint a more complete picture. Syntatically I don't see anything wrong, so ....

Hi Techgnome

my humble apologies i cracked it moments before your post, the

Code:

---

set { Dtp.Value = Value;}

---

is with an uppercase V where the actuall variable when it comes from a property is a lower case v

this is why i wasn't getting an error and why it wasn't making any change as it was setting it with the current Value


many thanks for your reply

Ian

I missed it too.... yeah... C# is case sensitive... and value isn't the same as Value... glad it's all sorted.
