DateTimePicker Custom Format doesn't work

[sebatozqc]

Hi guys,

I m trying to use custom format in dateTimePicker like this
$dateTimePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
$dateTimePicker.CustomFormat = "dd MM yyyy"

But i always get this error :
DateTimePickerFormat.Custom : The term 'DateTimePickerFormat.Custom' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Does anyone can help please.
Thx in advance.

Update your format line to look like the following:

Code: Select all

$dateTimePicker.Format = [Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat]::Custom

Yesss pretty cool. That works.
But after that, when i use the variable $dateTimePicker the result is : System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker, Value: 11/13/2020 2:16 PM
I need to have just 11/13/2020
How can i do that please ?

To use with Set-ADAccountExpiration -Identity $identity -DateTime $dateTimePicker

When i use it like this it give me this error :
Set-ADAccountExpiration : Cannot bind parameter 'DateTime'. Cannot convert the "System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker,
Value: 11/20/2020 2:22:58 PM" value of type "System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker" to type
"System.Nullable`1[System.DateTime]"

That is because you are passing the DateTimePicker control, not a DateTime object. To get the DateTime object from your object, you would pass something like this:

Code: Select all

$dateTimePicker.Value
