Datetime Picker control in VB.Net DataGridView Row

Hi, How can we set the DateTime picker control in a DataGridView row.

Just create a class name GridDateControl, Now paste this code and use it in any VB.Net DataGridView.

Imports System

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class GridDateControl

    Inherits DataGridViewColumn

     Public Sub New()

        MyBase.New(New CalendarCell())

    End Sub

     Public Overrides Property CellTemplate() As DataGridViewCell

        Get

            Return MyBase.CellTemplate

        End Get

        Set(ByVal value As DataGridViewCell)

            ' Ensure that the cell used for the template is a CalendarCell.

            If Not (value Is Nothing) AndAlso _

                Not value.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(GetType(CalendarCell)) _

                Then

                Throw New InvalidCastException("Must be a CalendarCell")

            End If

            MyBase.CellTemplate = value

        End Set

    End Property

End Class

Public Class CalendarCell

    Inherits DataGridViewTextBoxCell

     Public Sub New()

        ' Use the short date format.

        Me.Style.Format = "d"

    End Sub

     Public Overrides Sub InitializeEditingControl(ByVal rowIndex As Integer, _

        ByVal initialFormattedValue As Object, _

        ByVal dataGridViewCellStyle As DataGridViewCellStyle)

        ' Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.

        MyBase.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue, _

            dataGridViewCellStyle)

        Dim ctl As CalendarEditingControl = _

            CType(DataGridView.EditingControl, CalendarEditingControl)

        If Not Me.Value Is DBNull.Value Then

            If Not Me.Value Is Nothing Then

                ctl.Value = CType(Me.Value, DateTime)

            End If

        End If

    End Sub

    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property EditType() As Type

        Get

            ' Return the type of the editing contol that CalendarCell uses.

            Return GetType(CalendarEditingControl)

        End Get

    End Property

    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ValueType() As Type

        Get

            ' Return the type of the value that CalendarCell contains.

            Return GetType(DateTime)

        End Get

    End Property

    'Public Property CustomFocus() As Boolean

    '    Get

 

    '    End Get

    '    Set(ByVal value As Boolean)

    '        If CustomFocus Then

    '            ctl.Select()

    '            SendKeys.Send("%{Down}")

    '        End If

    '    End Set

    'End Property

End Class
