No DateTimePicker I can display anything using d for day, MM or MMMM for month and yy or yyyy for year.
However, I would like to simply display in the customformat property: April 15th.
However, when I write:
dtApartir.CustomFormat = "d de MMMM de yyyy";
Results in:
15 15e April 15e 2014.
Is there any way around this and display the "d" of "from"?
Use single quotes inside the string, just like substrings:
dtApartir.CustomFormat = "d' de 'MMMM' de 'yyyy";
This happens because C # interprets the letter 'd' of the word 'as' as the letter ' d ' reserved for the number format of the day.
Do not forget to set Format , too:
dtApartir.CustomFormat = String.Format("d {0} MMMM {0}", "'de'");
dtApartir.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
Use barra invertida \ .
To prevent a character from being interpreted as a specifier format, you can precede it with a backslash
\, which is the escape character.The escape character means that the following is a literal character that must be included in the result string unchanged.
Do this:
dtApartir.CustomFormat = "d \de MMMM \de yyyy";
