SYMPTOMS

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
MORE INFORMATION
When initialized with setShowNone(true), the DateTimePicker control displays a checkbox next to the current DateTime value. If this checkbox is physically cleared by the user, then DateTimePicker.getValue() will return a null Time object as it should. However, if the DateTimePicker's value is set to null programmatically as shown in the following code, the DateTimePicker getValue method returns the current time, not null.
dateTimePicker1.setShowNone(true);
dateTimePicker1.setValue(null);
Time t = dateTimePicker1.getValue();
//t should be equal to null at this point
