I am looking for an easy way to do date fields for Compact Framework, in one unified control, enforced to a format such as YYYY/MM/DD ... or YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
Is there a way to do this in a single control, or will I have to use multiple TextBox's for each portion of the date and time?
Thanks,
Mark Rejhon
There're many controls (fully managed and native wrappers) around:

DateTimePicker works great when I only need dates. But when I also need HH:MM:SS clock time too, it becomes a problem...
There is a CustomFormat property in DateTimePicker in NETCF V2 that you can use to specify the fields you would like users to set. If you set this property to something like "MMMd, yyyy h:m:s tt", the users will be able to set both the date and time in the same control.
Cheers,

I would have preferred an additional control that does this, though... Or maybe I'll attempt to extend the DateTimePicker source code a little.
