DateTime picker C# format

Question

I have a `DateTime` picker to add arrival time to a list, I have 2 questions about it: - How can I get it to show dates like `12-Jan-2012` Instead of `12/01/12`? - How can I get it to show the time after the date but not the current time, as thats what is shows atm. My current code is not very advanced its just: ``` theVisit.ArrivalTime = DateTimePicker1.Value ```

Accepted Answer

Something like this will display the date and time:

```
DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("d-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
```

To override the default DateTimePicker settings, you can do this:

```
DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "d-MMM-yyyy  hh:mm:ss";
```

You can show a different time by modifying the format string, e.g.:

```
DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "d-MMM-yyyy 12:00:00";
```

or even

```
DateTime otherTime = DateTime.Now;
DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "d-MMM-yyyy " + otherTime.ToString("hh:mm:ss");
```
