Overview

The WPF DateTimePicker (DatePicker) control provides a simple and intuitive interface for picking DateTime. In other words, users can quickly navigate and select dates using months, years, and decades of calendar. The DateTimePicker comprises text box and a dropdown with calendar and clock to pick or edit a date with time. It supports watermark, minimum and maximum dates, date format, nullable, date validation, and much more. In addition, it supports month and year selection by disabling date selection.
