VB.NET 2005 DateTimePicker Custom Format

[KA NMC]

I've noticed something strange when using the code below with a DateTimePicker
wondering anyone else noticed or knows why this happens

        Dim ws As String
        ws = "Not Available"
        DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
        DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = ws

The above code gives me the result
NoA Available

For some reason lower case t's results in a upper case A

Also notices that lower case y's results are a space then the number 8

        Dim ws As String
        ws = "ty"
        DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
        DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = ws

The above code gives me the result
A_8

Any ideas why this happens?

Becuase custom format is looking for things like "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" etc. Some letters/characters have special meanings. For example, a "t" means AM/PM designater and y is part of the year i believe.
You should look up how to create the specialized strings want on msdn.
