PODateTimePicker never updates!

Body
copied!<p>I have some <code>DateTimePicker</code>s in a form that never update.<br> I've tried <code>Value</code> and <code>Text</code>, <code>Invalidate()</code> and then <code>Update()</code> and also <code>Refresh()</code>... </p> <p>Nothing seems to change their values from the current date!<br> No matter what I set, the current dates are (relatively)today's! </p> <p>Is this a .NET 3.5 bug or what?<br> (No, I cannot use .NET 4 on this project.)</p> <hr> <p>If you really want some code, then here it is: <code>dateTimePicker1.Value = user.BirthDay;</code>. Also, if I write <code>MessageBox.Show(user.BirthDay.ToString());</code> I get a nice box telling the user's birthday (my birthday, on my machine). (So there is a value in the variable...)</p> <hr> <p>Should I also mention that they are only for dates and not times?</p> <hr> <p>Ok, I see I need to write more: </p> <p>First of all, the method in which the control is updated is subscribed to the <code>Form.Load</code> event. Consequently, it is called/fired/invoked when the form and the controls are visible and "running". </p> <p>Secondly, look at this pieces of code and their result:</p> <pre><code>MessageBox.Show(user.BirthDay.ToString()); // Shows 12.12.1995 (in my regional format) dateTimePicker1.Value = user.BirthDay; // assigned to 12.12.1995 MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString()); // Shows today's date! </code></pre> <p>That's not nice... The output is today's date. (By today I mean the day in which the code was ran.) </p> <pre><code>dateTimePicker1.MinDate = new DateTime(1900,1,1); // January 1st, 1900 MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.MinDate.ToString()); // January 1st, 1753 ... </code></pre> <p>Bad control! 1900 doesn't equal to 1753!</p> <pre><code>dateTimePicker1.MaxDate = DateTime.Today; // In reality, I need it to today's date MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.MinDate.ToString()); // December 31st, 9998 </code></pre> <p>Time warp? O_O </p> <p>Anyway, the whole code looks like this:</p> <pre><code>public void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.user = User.Load(path); // this.user is a field. // path is a static field which holds the absolute path of the file in which is serialized that data of the user. MessageBox.Show(user.BirthDay.ToString()); // Shows 12.12.1995 (in my regional format) dateTimePicker1.Value = user.BirthDay; // assigned to 12.12.1995 MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString()); // Shows today's date! dateTimePicker1.MinDate = new DateTime(1900,1,1); // January 1st, 1900 MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.MinDate.ToString()); // January 1st, 1753 ... dateTimePicker1.MaxDate = DateTime.Today; MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.MinDate.ToString()); // December 31st, 9998 } </code></pre> <p>So, any solution? xC</p>
