DxDateEditSettings.MinDate Property

Specifies the minimum date that can be selected in the date editor.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[Parameter]
public DateTime MinDate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
DateTime	The minimum date.

Remarks

Use the MinDate and MaxDate properties to specify a range of available dates. Note that the maximum date should be greater than the minimum date; otherwise, an exception occurs. The date editor’s calendar disables dates that are out of the range and navigation arrows for them. If a user types a date that is out of the range, the date editor keeps the previously selected date.

The default minimum and maximum values are DateTime.MinValue and DateTime.MaxValue.

In the code sample below, the hire date can be specified two weeks in advance and only for new employees.

Edit a Row

Create a Row

In scroll picker mode, the date editor shows a notification message each time a user tries to navigate to a date that is out of the range. To customize the notification text, use the OutOfRangeNotificationText property.

To change the minimum date at runtime, use the IDateEditSettings.MinDate property instead.
