DatePicker::DateValidationError Event
Occurs when Text is set to a value that cannot be interpreted as a date or when the date cannot be selected.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
After the DateValidationError event occurs, if you set the DatePickerDateValidationErrorEventArgs::ThrowException property to true, one of the following exceptions is raised:
Exception type | Condition |
|---|---|
The text entered cannot be parsed to a valid date, and the exception is not suppressed. | |
The text entered parses to a date that is not selectable. |
The following example creates a DatePicker that displays the dates in August 2009 and specifies that each Saturday and Sunday is not selectable.
<DatePicker Name="datePickerWithBlackoutDates" DisplayDateStart="8/1/09" DisplayDateEnd="8/31/09" SelectedDate="8/10/09" DateValidationError="DatePicker_DateValidationError"> <DatePicker.BlackoutDates> <CalendarDateRange Start="8/1/09" End="8/2/09"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="8/8/09" End="8/9/09"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="8/15/09" End="8/16/09"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="8/22/09" End="8/23/09"/> <CalendarDateRange Start="8/29/09" End="8/30/09"/> </DatePicker.BlackoutDates> </DatePicker>
The DatePicker handles the DateValidationError event, as shown in the following code. If the user enters a date that is not selectable, the example displays a message. If the user enters text that is not a valid date, an exception is thrown.
