DatePicker lets you display a watermark text in the DatePicker control when nothing is selected or entered in it. You can add a watermark text to the DatePicker control using [Placeholder](/componentone/api/blazor/online-blazor/dotnet-api/C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors/C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors.C1DateTimePicker.html#PLACEHOLDER) property of the [C1DateTimePicker](/componentone/api/blazor/online-blazor/dotnet-api/C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors/C1.Blazor.DateTimeEditors.C1DateTimePicker.html) class, which prompts user to select or enter the date and time using the drop-down button of the control.
