I understand that the DateTimePicker control is being phased out, but until I can fully remove it from my app, I have a question about text-entering the date in the short format.

When I type 12/31/29, it resolves to 12/31/2029.
When I type 1/1/30, it resolves to 1/1/1930.

Is there any way to set the cutoff year (i.e. any year < 80 will resolve to 20XX instead of 19XX)?

Thank you,
Mick

Hi Mick,

For the text to DateTime conversion we are simply using the built-in .NET framework code to do it like:
return DateTime.Parse(stringValue, culture.DateTimeFormat);
You can set the DateTimePicker.ValueConverter property to another converter that does DateTime to string and back if you'd like to do different logic.
