Force Dropdown of a DateTimePicker

[Jordi Rico]

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's any way to force a DateTimePicker to
dropdown, something like PerformClick() in a button...
I'd like to force this dropdown from the click event in other button
apart from the datetimepicker.
Thanks!

Thanks, I've been searching the groups and hadn't seen anything...
Now I have another question...
How convenient is the use of win32 dll's with framework?
Is it reliable? Can I encounter problems when installing my app in my
customer pc's, problems which aren't supposed to be with only managed
code?
Thanks

It will just work fine on current Windows versions supported by the .NET
Framework, however, it will reduce portability to other platforms like
Lin*x.

If that's the only problem, it's not a matter at the moment, my product
is not intended to run in Linux (don't have anything against it!)
I was worried about compatibility of current and newer versions of
Windows.
Thanks for your quick answer!
