# Quick Start
Learn about creating an application using the DateTimePicker control in Blazor documentation.
## Content
The following quick start guide is intended to get you up and running with the DateRangePicker control. In this quick start, you start with creating a new application, add the **DateRangePicker** control to it, set its value and display a date range in it. When you click the drop-down button to open the calendar, the DateRangePicker control shows one calendar months, by default. However, you can change the month count displayed in the control as per your requirements. For more information on changing the number of months displayed in the DateRangePicker control, see [Day and Date Range](/componentone/docs/blazor/online-blazor/controls/date-time-editors/daterangepicker/daterangepicker-day-date-range) topic.
## Create a Blazor App
1. In Visual Studio, select **Create a new project** from the **Get started** pane.
2. In the **Create a new project** dialog, select **Blazor WebAssembly App**, and click **Next**. Alternatively, you can also create a Blazor Server App.
> type=note
> **Note**: **Blazor Server App** or server-side app can be created using the Blazor Server App template. For more details, see [Blazor Server](/componentone/docs/blazor/online-blazor/blazortypes/blazorserver) topic under Blazor Project Types.
3. In the **Configure your new project** dialog, provide name of the project you want to create in the **Project name** field and location for the project in the **Location** field. Click **Next**.
4. In the **Additional information** dialog, select the target framework from the **Framework** dropdown, if required and click **Create**. By default, the selected framework is **.NET 8.0**. A new client-side Blazor app is created.
## Configure References
1. In the **Solution Explorer**, right click **Dependencies** and select **Manage NuGet Packages**.
2. In **NuGet Package Manager**, select **nuget.org** as the **Package source**.
3. Search for **C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors** package and click **Install**.
4. Navigate to the **wwwroot**, open **index.html** file.
5. Register the client resources by adding the following lines of code to the **\** tag.
```EXAMPLE
```
6. Add the following code to the **\** tag.
```html
```
7. Right click on **Pages** folder, click **Add |** **Razor Component** to add a new Razor page and then provide a name, say _RangePickerQuickStart._
8. Add the required directives to initialize and use the DateRangePicker control in the new Razor page.
```razor
@using C1.Blazor.Input
```
## Configure the DateRangePicker control
Display a date range in the DateRangePicker control by simply using the **Value** property of the **C1DateRangePicker** class as shown in the following code. In this example, the **Value** property gets the range values from two DatePicker controls bound to the DateRangePicker control, which accepts the start date and end date to be set for displaying the date range.
```razor
@_c1DateRangePickerSettings?.DateRange?.ToString()
@code {
class C1DateRangePickerSettings
{
public DateRange DateRange { get; set; }
public C1DateRangePickerSettings()
{
DateRange = new DateRange();
}
}
readonly C1DateRangePickerSettings _c1DateRangePickerSettings = new C1DateRangePickerSettings();
}
```
## Build and Run the Project
