Specifying the Date and Time

You can specify the time and date of a C1DateTimePicker control by setting the C1DateTimePicker.DateTime property using XAML or code.

Note: Try to avoid avoid setting the DateTime property in XAML. Parsing these values from strings is culture specific. If you set a value with your current culture and a user is using different culture, the user can get XamlParseException when loading your site. The best practice is to set these values from code or via data binding.

In XAML

Complete the following steps:

Place DateTime="1/17/2010 11:04 AM"to the <my:C1DateTimePicker> tag so that the markup resembles the following:
```
<my:C1DateTimePicker DateTime="1/17/2010 11:04 AM"/>
```
Run the project and observe that the C1DateTimePicker control shows the date and time as 01/17/2010 11:04:00 AM.

In Code

Complete the following steps:

Open the Window1.xaml.cs page.

Place the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
C1DateTimePicker1.DateTime = New DateTime(2010, 1, 17, 11, 04, 0)

C#	Copy Code
c1DateTimePicker1.DateTime = new DateTime(2010, 1, 17, 11, 04, 0);

Run the project and observe that the C1DateTimePicker control shows the date and time as 01/17/2010 11:04:00 AM.
