The CalendarBlackoutDatesCollection contains CalendarDateRange objects that specify multiple dates that cannot be selected by a user. To make all past dates not selectable, you can use the AddDatesInPast method.
The following example creates a Calendar in code and markup that has some dates that cannot be selected.
<!-- Create a Calendar that displays dates through Januarary 31, 2009 and has dates that are not selectable. --> <Calendar Margin="20" SelectionMode="MultipleRange" IsTodayHighlighted="false" DisplayDate="1/1/2009" DisplayDateEnd="1/31/2009" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"> <Calendar.BlackoutDates> <CalendarDateRange Start="1/2/2009" End="1/4/2009"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="1/9/2009" End="1/9/2009"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="1/16/2009" End="1/16/2009"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="1/23/2009" End="1/25/2009"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="1/30/2009" End="1/30/2009"/> </Calendar.BlackoutDates> <Calendar.SelectedDates> <sys:DateTime>1/5/2009</sys:DateTime> <sys:DateTime>1/12/2009</sys:DateTime> <sys:DateTime>1/14/2009</sys:DateTime> <sys:DateTime>1/13/2009</sys:DateTime> <sys:DateTime>1/15/2009</sys:DateTime> <sys:DateTime>1/27/2009</sys:DateTime> <sys:DateTime>4/2/2009</sys:DateTime> </Calendar.SelectedDates> </Calendar>
The preceding example produces output that is similar to the following illustration.
