 public class CalendarCell : DataGridViewTextBoxCell
        {

            public CalendarCell()
                : base()
            {
                // Use the short date format.
                this.Style.Format = "d";
            }

            // For Min And Max DATE
            public DateTime MaxDate { get; set; }
            public DateTime MinDate { get; set; }

            public override void InitializeEditingControl(int rowIndex, object
                initialFormattedValue, DataGridViewCellStyle dataGridViewCellStyle)
            {
                // Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.
                base.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue,
                    dataGridViewCellStyle);
                CalendarEditingControl ctl =
                    DataGridView.EditingControl as CalendarEditingControl;

                // For Min And Max DATE
                ctl.MinDate = MinDate;
                ctl.MaxDate = MaxDate;

                // Use the default row value when Value property is null.
                if (this.Value == null)
                {
                    ctl.Value = (DateTime)this.DefaultNewRowValue;
                }
                else
                {
                    ctl.Value = (DateTime)this.Value;
                }
            }

My Code,..

But I am not get MinDate and MaxDate Propriety. What is my mistake…

Answer 1

Add new properties to the CalendarColumn class:

public DateTime MinDate { get; set; }
public DateTime MaxDate { get; set; }

And in the InitializeEditingControl control, add the following code:

ctl.MinDate = this.MinDate;
ctl.MaxDate = this.MaxDate;

You can then set these properties on the column, and they will be reflected in the DateTimePickers (note that it will be taken into account only for new cells)
