This quick start gets you started with the DateEdit control by letting you create a WinForms application, add DateEdit control to it, and set a specific date in DateEdit.

To quickly get started using the control, follow these steps:

Add DateEdit control

1. Create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio.
2. Add C1.Win.Calendar, C1.Win.Input and C1.Win assemblies (dependant assemblies for DateEdit control).
3. Drag and drop the DateEdit control from the Toolbox to the application.
4. Set the DateEdit's Name property to 'dateEdit' in the Properties window using C1DateEdit class. You can also initialize the DateEdit control in the code as given below:

   C#	Copy Code
   C1DateEdit dateEdit = new C1DateEdit();

Configure DateEdit control

1. Set the size and location for DateEdit control:

   C#	Copy Code
   // set DateEdit size and location dateEdit.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 20); dateEdit.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(330, 126);

2. Set the Value property to a particular date or time value using the Value property in the C1DropDownEditorBase class:

   C#	Copy Code
   // set the Value property to a date or time value. dateEdit.Value = new DateTime(2021, 01, 05);

Build and Run the Project
