Thanks so much for both of you quickly replying. I was actually able to figure this out using DateTime.MaxValue and DateTime.MinValue and having two CalendarDateRanges in my DatePicker.BlackoutDates tags. Sometimes you just need to post a question to think about it in a different way :) Thanks again guys. Here's my xaml:

    <DatePicker>
        <DatePicker.BlackoutDates>
            <CalendarDateRange Start="{x:Static app:CustomDateControl.FutureMinBlackoutDate}"  End="{x:Static app:CustomDateControl.FutureMaxBlackoutDate}" />
            <CalendarDateRange Start="{x:Static app:CustomDateControl.PastMinBlackoutDate}"  End="{x:Static app:CustomDateControl.PastMaxBlackoutDate}" />
        </DatePicker.BlackoutDates>
    </DatePicker>

You have to choose range for the datepicker itself, too. if you wont, so nothing will be blacked out. I think they know about this lack feature, but currently you need to give your date picker a Start date same as your blackout dates. Every other date out of the datepicker's range won't be shown at all. I think it is better for you to do that instead of blacking out dates.
