How to set win forms datetime picker to have no default value?

Question

I am implementing search functionality in WinForms and I search by date range. Thus there are dateForm and dateTo date pickers on the form. By default their values are date

Answer 1

You can set DateDateTimePicker.Format property to Custom.

Then set DateDateTimePicker.CustomFormat property to your default text (e.g "N/A" or a space " ")

After the user has selected a certain date value, you should set back the format property to short etc.

Hope this helps!
