How to read date from table and display it in the datetimepicker?

Question

Dear Friends There is an error coming with this when i'm trying to read date. Help me to solve this problem. dateTimePicker1.Value = gettemprecord[14].ToString();

The value is a DateTime value; it won't accept a string. For example; this works: dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime .Now.AddDays(-5); But this does not: dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime .Now.AddDays(-5).ToShortDateString();
