Hi Mark,\
You can use the following code:\

```
using System;using System.Drawing;using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1{    public partial class Form1 : Form    {        public Form1()        {            InitializeComponent();        }         private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short;            dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Today;        }         private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            DateTime iDate;            iDate = dateTimePicker1.Value;            MessageBox.Show("Selected date is " + iDate);        }    }}
```
