# Input Date

## Content



The **InputDate** control lets a user type in dates using any of the format supported by the Globalize class, and also pick dates from a drop-down box that shows a calendar control. To restrict the range of values a user can enter, you can use [Min](/componentone/api/mvc/online-mvc-core/dotnet-api/C1.AspNetCore.Mvc/C1.Web.Mvc.InputDateBase.Min.html) and [Max](/componentone/api/mvc/online-mvc-core/dotnet-api/C1.AspNetCore.Mvc/C1.Web.Mvc.InputDateBase.Max.html) properties. The InputDate control also allows you to change individual date components (day, month and year) independently by pressing up or down keys on the keyboard or using the mouse wheel.
