Set the DateTimePicker.Format property to Custom and DateTimePicker.CustomFormat property to space.

Avoid Google. Use Blackle[^]

You can do this at runtime. What is the problem?

In addition to what d@nish said, you must initialize the value to DateTime.MinValue, and in the methods which use this value, make sure it's not DateTime.MinValue - this ensures the user has selected a date. Also, in your dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged handler, use dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Long; or whatever format you want - otherwise the user will see an empty box, no matter what he selects!

Cheers, Vikram.
