DXCalendar.DisplayDate Property

Gets or sets a date that allows you to specify the month, year, or decade displayed in the current calendar view.

Namespace: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Editors

Assembly: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Editors.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Editors

#Declaration

C#
public DateTime DisplayDate { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
DateTime

A structure that specifies a date.

#Remarks

The DisplayDate and ActiveViewType properties allow you to open a specific month, year, or decade in the calendar.

For example, if you set DisplayDate to ‘2024-12-1’ and the ActiveViewType to Month, the calendar displays days of December 2024 (the date’s actual day does not make sense). If you set DisplayDate to ‘2024-1-1’ and the ActiveViewType to Year, the calendar displays months of 2024 (the date’s actual month and day do not make sense in this case). If you set DisplayDate to ‘2024-1-1’ and the ActiveViewType to Decade, the calendar displays the 2020-2029 decade.

You can also use the combination of the DisplayDate and ActiveViewType properties to determine the period that is currently displayed in the calendar.

#Example

The code below shows how to display a specific decade in the calendar.
