Features

• LibraryClass for a DateTimePicker. All the logic is located in the code behind, which is heavily commented for easy understanding and modification.
• Therefore, the .xaml file is clean and contains only the styles (which will be moved in a different file in the next update) and the grid layout.
• The DatePicker, TimePicker and PopupWidget are independent components.
• The project solution has a WPF application connected to the library for testing the LibraryClass.

In this Update the Popup widget is intergrated as an indepented feature, so you can inlude the popup only with a single tag. See Usage for explaining the Popup functionality

In this update the OK button will send DateTime info to the Textblock of the Popup. The static variables, ResultDate and ResultTime can be used for reading-only the TextBlock DateTime data anywhere in your classes. See Usage for an example.

Method 2. GitHub

• Clone Github repository and add the LibraryClass to your solution.
• This is how the solution tree in the solution explorer should look like, if you add a test WPF application.

Besides a stand-alone calander, its a great and stylized solution for a Date and Time Picker as a Popup for a TextBlock Date and time selection.
