# Views ## Content Calendar supports three different views, namely month, year and decade view. By default, the calendar displays month view showing month/year format. The calendar control allows you to navigate between the views using the calendar header as shown in the GIF below: | ![Calendar control showing different views](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/2d49eac2-0942-4770-99ef-52b14e6815bd/images/calendar-view-mode.gif) | | --- | The table below depicts the three different types of view modes supported in the Calendar control. | **View Modes** | **Snapshot** | | --- | --- | | Month | ![Calendar in month mode](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/2d49eac2-0942-4770-99ef-52b14e6815bd/images/calendar-month-view.png) | | Year | ![Calendar in year mode](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/2d49eac2-0942-4770-99ef-52b14e6815bd/images/calendar-year-view.png) | | Decade | ![Calendar in decade mode](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/2d49eac2-0942-4770-99ef-52b14e6815bd/images/calendar-decade-view.png) | You can change the view of the calendar programmatically using [ViewMode](/componentone/api/winui/online-winui/dotnet-api/C1.WinUI.Calendar/C1.WinUI.Calendar.C1Calendar.ViewMode.html) property of the [C1Calendar](/componentone/api/winui/online-winui/dotnet-api/C1.WinUI.Calendar/C1.WinUI.Calendar.C1Calendar.html) class. The **ViewMode** property accesses the [CalendarViewMode](/componentone/api/winui/online-winui/dotnet-api/C1.WinUI.Calendar/C1.WinUI.Calendar.CalendarViewMode.html) enumeration to change the calendar view. ![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/2d49eac2-0942-4770-99ef-52b14e6815bd/images/calendar-year-view.png) The following code demonstrates how to set the year view for the calendar. ```xml ```
