DateRangePicker lets you display a watermark text in the DateRangePicker control when nothing is selected or entered in it. You can add a watermark text to the DateRangePicker control using the [Placeholder](/componentone/api/blazor/online-blazor/dotnet-api/C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors/C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors.C1DateTimeBase-1.Placeholder.html) property which prompts user to select or enter the date and time using the drop-down button of the control.

```razor
<C1DateRangePicker Placeholder="Select a date range"></C1DateRangePicker>
