How to get the value from sql datetime to c# datetimepicker

Question

I've been having some trouble finding the correct syntax to get the value of the datetime from my SQL Server and be displayed on a datetimepicker in C#. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005.

Below is my code, it uses datagridview with a double click event:

private void dg_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        button2.Visible = true;
        button5.Visible = true;

        try
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            SqlDataAdapter dad = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM tblSchools WHERE Number ="+
                Convert.ToInt16(dg.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value.ToString()) + "", conn);
               dad.Fill(dt);

               textBox1.Text = dt.Rows[0][1].ToString();
               comboBox1.Text = dt.Rows[0][2].ToString();
               textBox2.Text = dt.Rows[0][3].ToString();
               textBox4.Text = dt.Rows[0][4].ToString();
               textBox5.Text = dt.Rows[0][5].ToString();
               textBox6.Text = dt.Rows[0][6].ToString();
               dateTimePicker1.Value.Date = dt.Rows[0][7];
               textBox8.Text = dt.Rows[0][8].ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
        }
}

The error comes from this line:

dateTimePicker1.Text = dt.Rows[0][7];

it says

Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Someone teach me the proper syntax. Thank you :)

Answer 1

I think that if you went

dateTimePicker1.Value = (datetime)dt.Rows[0][7];

should work

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

Do like this,

dateTimePicker1.Text = dt.Rows[0][7].ToString();

or

 dateTimePicker1.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(dt.Rows[0][7]);
 dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "dd-MMM-yyyy";
 dateTimePicker1.Format =DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
