WinForms DateTimePicker Dialog?

Question

I need to have a pop-up dialog like the Color Dialog or Save Dialog but for choosing a date from a calendar. The DateTimePicker is what I need, but I don't know how to launch this like a pop-up dialog in C#.

Answer 1

You need to add a DateTimePicker to a form and show the form as a dialog:

var picker = new DateTimePicker();
Form f = new Form();
f.Controls.Add(picker);

var result = f.ShowDialog();
if(result == DialogResult.OK)
{
    //get selected date
}
