Calendar, Slider and ScrollBar Controls
Silverlight provides two controls that allow users to select a day of the month. The Calendar control represents a UI
surface displaying months / years. The DatePicker is similar; however the calendar is only displayed when clicking the
drop down arrow. Both of these controls are in the System.Windows.Controls.Extended.dll assembly, therefore you
must define a custom xmlns/clr-namespace attribute to define them in XAML.
<UserControl x:Class="FunWithSLControls.Page"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ext=
"clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"
Width="400" Height="300">
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<!-- Notice the custom XMLNS tag prefix -->
<ext:Calendar x:Name="myCalendar" IsTodayHighlighted="True"
FirstDayOfWeek="Monday"/>
<ext:DatePicker x:Name="myDatePicker" Width="200" />
</StackPanel>
</UserControl>
Silverlight also supports a Slider control and a standard ScrollBar control to define a range. Each control supports
numerous properties (Minimum, Maximum, etc) to establish upper and lower bounds.
<UserControl x:Class="FunWithSLControls.Page"

<StackPanel>
<Slider Minimum="0" Maximum="100" LargeChange="1" SmallChange="1" Value="50"/>
<ScrollBar Minimum="0" Maximum="100" LargeChange="1" SmallChange="1"
Value="50"/>
