DatePicker.Value.Set Error binding to datasource

Question

I have a bindingsource control called binding, on a form in VS2012, and a DateTimePicker control bound to it.

for the binding properties I have MinDate = 1/01/1753

Answer 1

The cause of the exception may be that the DatePicker's DataBinding "Value" property has been set to a BindingSource field. Only the DatePicker's DataBinding "Text" property needs to be set for the data binding to work correctly. Check if there is a value in the DatePicker's DataBinding "Value" property field, once removed the issue should go away.
