>>hey experts,

>>I read on the msdn site that if a value is assigned that creates an invalid date, one of the error messages above appears. This behavior occurs because the DateTimePicker control does not recognize {" / / "} as a valid date. In the DTPicker properties i have checked the format and everythings fine.The 'customformat' propery is set to "none"..
