I just cant find how can i make the Windows Forms DatePicker to have both date and time for the user to select. It doesn't?
The only way i see is to put two Datepickers one with the date and one with the time and combine the DateTime object that i need... that's the only way?
Is the Winforms DateTimePicker not available for some reason? If it is available, you can create one, choose 'Custom' for the Format property then type yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss or whatever you want in the CustomFormat property.

I would like users to have an ability to type in dates in datepicker control. The two formats allowed are MMDDYYYY or MMDDYY, by default it is not possible to do it without slash
Dealing with this myself. Decided I wanted more of a "maskedtextbox" serving as my textbox versus the datepickertextbox. I had to include WPFToolkit for the maskedtextbox control. Then, I created a new class that inherits from Datepicker and added a few dependencyproperties. From there I created a resourcedictionary for the XAML of how to display this new custom date picker. You can build You'll lose the watermark but you gain a mask which I think is more user friendly.
You won't be able to accomplish what you are looking for without a custom control since Datepicker is tightly synced together where the selected Calendar date is an actual date and SelectedDate has to also be a date and the format MMDDYYYY isn't considered a date.
I managed to accomplish that easily with telerik's RadDatePicker. Setting AllowParsingWithoutSeparator="True" property resolved my issue. The other solution is to have a textbox with mask.
I have WPF DatePicker In My UserControl and I want to display date as MMM-DD format.
I am using MVVM Pattern.
Any One faced this issue.
There us a lot of topic about that whit more or less hacking of the control but may be you could try the DateTimePicker from the WPF Toolkit which has 2 properties 'Format' and 'FormatString'
Like it's describe in this another post.
Set Format=Custom
And FormatString="youre custom format" like "dd::MMM::yyyy hh-mm-ss" or what ever you need
i have a datagrid like this.
I want to convert the Date column format so as to show 5/11/2014 as 11th May 2014 and also i dont want to display time. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Three options:
Use a ContentTemplate and format the column's value on binding.
Handle the OnBinding event and modify the value being set.
Just after values or loaded or (if you are using a sproc to fetch data), send the data to the MT or UI after having already formatted it.
I am building a silverlight 4 application and the user wants to have a autocompelte feature for
date controls. ( Note I am using the DatePicker). For e.g. when the user types 5 and tabs out
the date should be converted to 5'th of sept 2012 becuase 5'th august has gone past. I also have
some other rules that are in place for this date formation. I planned to write some code
for this one in the KeyUp event but I am unable to get the text that the user has entered in the
datepicker. Also TextInputStart and TextInputUpdate are never called in my case.
I am looking for the correct event in which I can get what the user has entered
Thanks

I had a similar problem once with the DatePicker of the Silverlight Toolkit. The only way I could solve that was to create a new UserControl using a standard TextBox and a DatePicker. I re-styled the DatePicker so that its default text area remained hidden, and replaced it by the standard TextBox.
I wired the DatePicker's SelectedDate-Property to the Text-Property of the TextBox, so that it would get updated once someone picks a date.
In your case you could use the AutoCompleteBox coming with the Toolkit instead of a standard TextBox and then use some clever logic to prefill the list of auto-complete proposals. Thus your control would look like a standard DatePicker, and mostly behave like one, but would provide a mixed functionality of DatePicker, TextBox and AutoCompleteBox.
I'm using WPF with MVVM implementation, and have a WPF DatePicker control. I've set the default date on my property using DateTime.Now, but I would like to disable all the Dates on the DatePicker control that fall before the current date so that the User cannot select any earlier dates.
I've tried setting this in xaml using FallbackValue={x:Static sys:DateTime.Now} in my SelectedDate property, and {x:Static sys:DateTime.Now} in most of the other properties (from another source) but the dates before the current dates are still displayed and still selectable.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
Maybe you're looking BlackoutDates property?
Here is more info of using the DatePicker control (including BlackoutDates):
WPF Toolkit: Calendar & DatePicker Walkthrough
For example if you want to set your blackout dates from 1/1/2000 to present day you can do:
<Calendar.BlackoutDates>
<CalendarDateRange Start="1/1/2000" End="{x:Static System:DateTime.Today}" />
</Calendar.BlackoutDates>
Where System namespace is defined as
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
You can use DisplayDateStart and DisplayDateEnd properties to select what dates should be displayed in the control or if you want something more complex you can use BlackOutDates to select exactly what dates you don't want to be selectable.
CalendarDateRange cdr = new CalendarDateRange(DateTime.MinValue, DateTime.Today);
myCalendar.BlackoutDates.Add(cdr);
You can use
MyDatePicker.BlackoutDates.AddDatesInPast();
