If we do your homework, you will learn nothing. The fact you haven't really tried anything suggests this is homework.

"Holidays" ? Depends on what country you are in, doesn't it ? And, many types of holidays: holidays where banks are closed, holidays where banks are open, etc.

1) Define a class for holidays. E.g. starting-date, ending-date and name.
2) Define a class that holds all holiday-objects of 1) and offers methods to add a holiday and to check whether a certain date falls into some holiday. That method would then loop over all stored holidays and check for storedHoliday.StartingDate <= dateInQuestion <= storedHoliday.EndingDate and return true if it finds a hit, maybe optionally with the name of the holidays (e.g. as an out-parameter).

Try with below code:

Add ValueChanged event to DateTimePicker.

C#

this.dateTimePicker1.ValueChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged);

Then add following code to handle ValueChanged event:

C#

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        // Declare holiday list 
	string[] holidayList = { "03/01/2016", "02/20/2016", "02/17/2016" };

        // Check if selected value is holiday and display message
	if (holidayList.Contains(dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")))
	{
		MessageBox.Show("Selected date is holiday");
	}

    // Check if selected value is Friday then display message
    if (dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("dddd") == "Friday")
    {
	  MessageBox.Show("Selected date is holiday");
    }
}
