How can I make a DateTimePicker display an empty string?

Question

I would like to be able to display a DateTimePicker that has a default value of nothing, i.e. no date.

For example, I have a start date dtTaskStar

Answer 1

this worked for me for c#

if (enableEndDateCheckBox.Checked == true)
{
    endDateDateTimePicker.Enabled = true;
    endDateDateTimePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short;                
}
else
{
    endDateDateTimePicker.Enabled = false;
    endDateDateTimePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
    endDateDateTimePicker.CustomFormat = " ";
}

nice one guys!
