C#

DateTimePickerCell CreateCustomCalendarStyleAndFormat()
        {
            DateTimePickerCell dateTimePickerCell1 = new DateTimePickerCell();

            dateTimePickerCell1.Value = DateTime.Now;

            dateTimePickerCell1.Size = new Size(120, 21);

            dateTimePickerCell1.CustomFormat = "yyyy/MM";

            dateTimePickerCell1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;

            dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarFont = new Font(Control.DefaultFont, FontStyle.Bold);

            dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarForeColor = Color.Red;

            dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarMonthBackground = Color.Blue;

            dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarTitleBackColor = Color.Black;

            dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarTitleForeColor = Color.White;

            dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarTrailingForeColor = Color.Yellow;

            dateTimePickerCell1.DropDownAlign = LeftRightAlignment.Right;

            return dateTimePickerCell1;
        }

VB.NET

Private Function CreateCustomCalendarStyleAndFormat() As DateTimePickerCell
        Dim dateTimePickerCell1 As New DateTimePickerCell()

        dateTimePickerCell1.Value = DateTime.Now

        dateTimePickerCell1.Size = New Size(120, 21)

        dateTimePickerCell1.CustomFormat = "yyyy/MM"

        dateTimePickerCell1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom

        dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarFont = New Font(Control.DefaultFont, FontStyle.Bold)

        dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarForeColor = Color.Red

        dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarMonthBackground = Color.Blue

        dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarTitleBackColor = Color.Black

        dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarTitleForeColor = Color.White

        dateTimePickerCell1.CalendarTrailingForeColor = Color.Yellow
