Setting DatePicker Value

Viewed 66203

I currently have a program that takes the value from a datePicker and have the date saved as a string. I only needed the date not the time so i used the following code to save the date value:

DateTime StartDate;
String inMyString;
savedDate = datePicker1.SelectedDate.Value.Date;
inMyString =   savedDate.Date.ToShortDateString()

I have the inMyString pushedBack into my list and now i want to place it back into the datePicker.

On MSDN is shows me the following example to set the date.

dateTimePicker1.Value = new DateTime(2001, 10, 20);

the problem is that having .Value after my date picker is not an option (it doesn't show in Intellisense.)

I have also tried

datePicker1.SelectedDate.Value= new DateTime(inMyString)

and also converting the inMyString to type DateTime but it still does not work.

Any thoughts on how to do this?
Any Suggestions and comments are appreciated.

Thanks!
