How can I set a DateTimePicker control to a specific date?

How can I set a DateTimePicker control to a specific date (yesterday's date) in C# .NET 2.0?

From stackoverflow

• Just need to set the value property in a convenient place (such as InitializeComponent()):

      dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1);
  

  jmein : k gotcha but he does need to be a little more specific then

• This oughta do it.

  DateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1).Date;
  

• You can set the "value" property

  dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today;
  

• Use the Value property.

  MyDateTimePicker.Value = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1);
  

  DateTime.Today holds today's date, from which you can subtract 1 day (add -1 days) to become yesterday.

  DateTime.Now, on the other hand, contains time information as well. DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1) will return this time one day ago.

• dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today();
