DateTimePicker ValueChanged Event

[smeeks]

When you click the down arrow on a DTP control, the ValueChanged event fires even if you don't pick a date in the drop down calender? I only want this event to fire if the user actually picks a different date than was previously in the DTP? Is there another event I should be using. Specifically, some of DTP's don't have an actual date assigned to them (loaded from a Database) when I create them...it's just set to the current date with the checkbox unchecked so the user knows it is not set. When the user picks the control I thought about comparing it(the value) to the actual date....and then I would know if they actually changed the date or not, but it is possible they could change it to a day other than today .....then back to today's date...which would cause this code to fail. HELP!

I don't know how many times I post a question and then figure it out. I didn't even jump the gun on this one....I have been trying to figure this out for at least 2 or 3 hours. Oh Well, I figured out what to do. For those who have this same issue....use the TextChanged event.

Well...I spoke to soon. This event doesn't work properly....so if there are any suggestions I am still open.

Thanks
