Where is the date picker in WinRT XAML?

Question

I see the date picker control in WinRT JavaScript/HTML5. Where is that control for XAML?

Answer 1

Syncfusion's WinRT Studio (Beta) includes a very, very good DatePicker and it's free to use.

Answer 2

The best one I've found (complete with templating and xaml friendly formatting options) is:

Answer 3

You can inspect our package of WinRT components. It contains date picker component as well as a lot of other UI components: radial and plain menus, color picker, rating controls and so on. And it's totally free btw ;).

Answer 4

You can find the following control that looks like the same as the javascript one: https://mytoolkit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/25356#181302.

Answer 5

Note that Win 8.1 includes built-in XAML controls for DatePicker, TimePicker. So if you retarget your project to target Win 8.1 you will now get these controls.

Answer 6

There is no date picker control in the standard Windows 8.0 toolbox. However, look at the Callisto for many handy WinRT XAML controls, including the date picker control. https://github.com/timheuer/Callisto
