How to save cell changes to the data base of DateTimePicker in WinForms GridControl?

Save the changes to the database

In order to save the changes in database for datetimepicker cell type, GridControl has support to save the cell values using SaveCellInfo event. Using e.ModifyType you can check the status of the cell value like whether it is modified or newly added.

//MonthCalendar celltype
this.gridControl1[1, 2].Text = "MonthCalendar";
this.gridControl1.ColWidths[2] = 100;
this.gridControl1[2, 2].CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar;

//Event Handler
this.gridControl1.SaveCellInfo += this.gridControl1_SaveCellInfo;
 
void gridControl1_SaveCellInfo(object sender, GridSaveCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
       //Saves the modified value in a temp variable.
       string temp = e.Style.CellValue.ToString();
}

'MonthCalendar celltype
 Me.gridControl1(1, 2).Text = "MonthCalendar"
 Me.gridControl1.ColWidths(2) = 100
 Me.gridControl1(2, 2).CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar

'Event Handler
 AddHandler Me.gridControl1.SaveCellInfo, AddressOf Me.gridControl1_SaveCellInfo
 
Private Sub gridControl1_SaveCellInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridSaveCellInfoEventArgs)
 'Saves the modified value in a temp variable.
 Dim temp As String = e.Style.CellValue.ToString()
 End Sub
