DateTimePicker - Values to blank when screen is opened in C# VS2010 .NEt..

Question

What I have is a Window.NET application with many date fields on it. Sometimes I will not want to update every date field on the screen, but everytime time I update the DB is stores the dates. What I did was to initiate the fields to a blank and this works, except for one thing. When I pick the date field that I want to update and click on the date it returns a blank field back and it just so happens to update the DB, but I never saw the date in the datetimepicker box.
What I would like to do is this. Bring screen up with blank values in the date boxes, then choose the field that I want to update, click on date, date shows up in box, then I update the DB with that value, but the other date fields that I didn't choose I want them not to anything.

I would appreciate the help. This is the last thing I need to correct and I will be finished with my first project.

Thanks,
Ben

You are using blank values to solve a problem and asking how to solve the problem of using blank values. I suspect that the easiest solution would not be to use blank values but I don't understand the problem well enough to suggest a solution. You don't even specify whether the data is bound to the form; there is much information such as that that is needed before someone can help.

Is this what you mean private void Form1_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat =  ; dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom; } private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged_1(object sender EventArgs e) { dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short; }
