Question

How can I change the date format of a DateTimePicker in vb.net so that the date is shown in the format dd/mm/1990, without any time value? I have tried changing the format to “short”, and while this provides the date formatting I require it does not remove the time.

You need to set the Format of the DateTimePicker to Custom and then assign the CustomFormat.

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
    DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
End Sub
