We have a built in Calendar control from Windows 10 UWP CalendarView, which can provide a standardized way to let users view and interact with a calendar. Selecting multiple dates are also possible through Calendar view.
For creating a new Windows 10 universal project, refer to the following:
Now go to MainPage.XAML and write the below xaml code to show calendar control.
- <CalendarView x:Name="myCal"HorizontalAlignment="Center"VerticalAlignment="Center"></CalendarView>
Next see the properties to set calendar to your wish.
If you want to select multiple date set
SelectionMode="Multiple" by default it will be single. Next set the display mode it’s used to display the calendar in different view Month, Year and Decade.
The view looks like the following image.
![view]()
![view]()
![view]()
To get the selected date register event handler for the date control like the following code,
- <CalendarView x:Name="myCal"HorizontalAlignment="Center"SelectedDatesChanged="myCal_SelectedDatesChanged"VerticalAlignment="Center"></CalendarView>
Now go to your code behind page and write the below code to get the selected date. privatevoidmyCal_SelectedDatesChanged(CalendarView sender,
- CalendarViewSelectedDatesChangedEventArgsargs)
- {
- stringselectedDate = args.AddedDates[0].ToString();
-
- }
Now run the app and see the output looks like following image.
