To Display and Read Value from DatePicker in dd.yyyy.mm (VB.net code)

The below code (in VB.net) will help us to Display and Read Value from DatePicker in dd.yyyy.mm.

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
	Public Partial Class Form1
		Inherits Form
		Private format As String = "dd.yyyy.MM"
		'date format
		Public Sub New()
			InitializeComponent()
		End Sub

		'set the datepicker display format at form load time
		Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
			dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.[Custom]
			dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = format

		End Sub

		'read the datepicker value of the given format on button click
		Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
			MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.Value.[Date].ToString(format))
		End Sub
	End Class
End Namespace

For setting the datetime-picker value, we are using

a) Format Property : Gets or sets the format of the date and time displayed in the control.
b) CustomFormat Property : Gets or sets the custom date/time format string.

For reading the value from the datetime-picker, we are formatting the ToString() e.g.

ToString(format)
