title: Changing the background color of a DateTimePicker in .NET
body: <p>In <code>.NET</code> (at least in the 2008 version, and maybe in 2005 as well), changing the <code>BackColor</code> property of a <code>DateTimePicker</code> has absolutely no affect on the appearance. How do I change the background color of the text area, not of the drop-down calendar?</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Edit:</em></strong> I was talking about Windows forms, not ASP.</p>
