# 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.
