Show empty DatePicker if value is null

Question

Hi,

My WindowsPhone App has an optional Date-Field. If no date is set I want to display an empty DatePicker and otherwise the picked Date. How can I do this?

Thank you

Bernd

Answer 1

There's no such thing as a null date. Set it to today's date as the default.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

Answer 2

Unfortunately this is no solution for me.

If there is always a date visible, the user doesn't
know if he still has to set the date or is it already set.

Answer 3

You'll have to write your own datepicker to get this solution.
