Date Time Picker doesn't show Date & Time

[FastEddie]

I have a datetimepicker control where I want to show both the date and time but so far have not been able to do so.

I have the properties format set to custom and then through code I am trying to do this:

' Format DateTime
        dtpShow.Value = CDate(dtShowDateTime.ToString("u"))
        dtpStart.Value = CDate(dtStartDateTime.ToString("u"))
        dtpEnd.Value = CDate(dtStopDateTime.ToString("u"))

At run time the control is only showing Long or Short depending on the properties. I want to show it like this: 2007-9-18 00:00:00

When you set the format to custom, also set the CustomFormat property to the format you want.

To match the example you gave, use a CustomFormat of "yyyy-M-dd hh:mm:ss"

You need to set the CustomFormat property of your datetimepicker control
This should do it:

        DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
        DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "yyyy-M-dd HH:mm:ss"

Thank you that worked.
