For a demo purpose I created a class: class MyData { public int ID { get; set; } public DateTime Date { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public MyData(int id, DateTime dt, string name) { ID = id; Date = dt; Name = name; } } Then on the main Form, I am creating a TestData and binding into DataGrid After that on CellClick event, a DateTimePicker Control is being generated programmatically See the code below: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace CalanderInDataGridView { public partial class MainForm : Form { DateTimePicker oDateTimePicker ; public MainForm() { InitializeComponent(); } private void MainForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Creating a Test data List oMyDataList = new List (); MyData obj1 = new MyData(1, DateTime.Now, "John"); MyData obj2 = new MyData(2, DateTime.Now, "Sam"); MyData obj3 = new MyData(3, DateTime.Now, "Ram"); oMyDataList.Add(obj1); oMyDataList.Add(obj2); oMyDataList.Add(obj3); // Binding as a Data Source into DataGridView dataGridView1.DataSource = oMyDataList; } private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { // If any cell is clicked on the Second column which is our date Column if (e.ColumnIndex == 1) { oDateTimePicker = new DateTimePicker(); //DateTimePicker //Adding DateTimePicker control into DataGridView dataGridView1.Controls.Add(oDateTimePicker); // Intially made it invisible oDateTimePicker.Visible = false; // Setting the format (i.e. 2014-10-10) oDateTimePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short; // oDateTimePicker.TextChanged += new EventHandler(dateTimePicker_OnTextChange); // Now make it visible oDateTimePicker.Visible = true; // It returns the retangular area that represents the Display area for a cell Rectangle oRectangle = dataGridView1.GetCellDisplayRectangle(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex, true); //Setting area for DateTimePicker Control oDateTimePicker.Size = new Size(oRectangle.Width, oRectangle.Height); // Setting Location oDateTimePicker.Location = new Point(oRectangle.X, oRectangle.Y); oDateTimePicker.CloseUp += new EventHandler(oDateTimePicker_CloseUp); } } private void dateTimePicker_OnTextChange(object sender, EventArgs e) { dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value = oDateTimePicker.Text.ToString(); } void oDateTimePicker_CloseUp(object sender, EventArgs e) { oDateTimePicker.Visible = false; } } class MyData { public int ID { get; set; } public DateTime Date { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public MyData(int id, DateTime dt, string name) { ID = id; Date = dt; Name = name; } } } Hope it will help

The answer works but now I have a different question regarding on the answer. I am creating a program which user can add, delete and edit the datagridview. Then I have a cancel button. When I key in more than 2 lines, then I press the Cancel Button to cancel my action, the datetimepicker visible cannot be set to false. Only the datetimepicker in first line can be deleted. PLease help
