DatePicker
The xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker control allows the user to select a date by either typing it into a text field or by using a drop-down xref:System.Windows.Controls.Calendar control.
The following illustration shows a xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.
DatePicker Control
Many of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker control's properties are for managing its built-in xref:System.Windows.Controls.Calendar, and function identically to the equivalent property in xref:System.Windows.Controls.Calendar. In particular, the xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.IsTodayHighlighted%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType, xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.FirstDayOfWeek%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType, xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.BlackoutDates%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType, xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.DisplayDateStart%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType, xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.DisplayDateEnd%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType, xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.DisplayDate%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType, and xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.SelectedDate%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType properties function identically to their xref:System.Windows.Controls.Calendar counterparts. For more information, see xref:System.Windows.Controls.Calendar.
Users can type a date directly into a text field, which sets the xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.Text%2A property. If the xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker cannot convert the entered string to a valid date, the xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.DateValidationError event will be raised. By default, this causes an exception, but an event handler for xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePicker.DateValidationError can set the xref:System.Windows.Controls.DatePickerDateValidationErrorEventArgs.ThrowException%2A property to false and prevent an exception from being raised.
