DatePicker Control For Windows 10

Introduction 

 

DatePicker represents a control that allows a user to pick a date value. 

 

Step 1

 

Open a blank app and add DatePicker and Textblock control either from the toolbox or by copying the following XAML code into your grid. 

<TextBlock Text=" Time Picker " FontSize="20">
</TextBlock>
<StackPanel Margin="20,30,0,0">
    <TimePicker Name="myTime" Header="Select a time" ClockIdentifier="12HourClock" TimeChanged="myTime_TimeChanged" Margin="15,0,0,0">
   </TimePicker>
    <TextBlock x:Name="selectedTime" Margin="15,15,0,0" Foreground="Green" />
</StackPanel>

The Header defines a small text above the DatePicker control.

 

 

 

Step 2

 

If you want to show the day of the week along with the date you can add the following code to the DatePicker XAML code.

DayFormat="{}{day.integer} {dayofweek.full}"

 

 

Step 3

 

Copy and paste the following code to the myDate_DateChanged event on the cs page.

DateTimeFormatter dtf = new DateTimeFormatter("shortdate");
selectedDate.Text = "The selected date is " + dtf.Format(e.NewDate).ToString();

Step 4

 

Run your application and select a date. It will be shown in our TextBlock assigned. 

 

Step 5

 

If you want to assign a Minimum and a Maximum year for the calendar you can also add the following code to the class.

this.myDate.MinYear = new DateTimeOffset(new DateTime(1990, 1, 1));
this.myDate.MaxYear = new DateTimeOffset(new DateTime(2016, 12, 1));
