Selecting the Date Format

By default, the C1DateTimePicker control's date picker displays the date in a short format, but it can also display time in a long format. In this topic, you will learn how to change the date format in the designer, in XAML, and in code.

In the Designer

To change the date format, complete the following steps:

1. Click the C1DateTimePicker control once to select it.
2. In the Properties window, click the DateFormat drop-down arrow and select a mode from the list. For this example, select Long.

In XAML

To change the date format, place DateFormat="Long" to the <my:C1DateTimePicker> tag so that the markup resembles the following:

<my:C1DateTimePicker DateFormat="Long">

In Code

To change the date format, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Window1.xaml.cs page.

2. Place the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

   C1DateTimePicker1.DateFormat = Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DatePickerFormat.Long
   

   c1DateTimePicker1.DateFormat = Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DatePickerFormat.Long;
