Answer 1

The DateChooser control displays the name of a month, the year, and a grid of the days of the month. It contains columns labeled for the days of the week. This control is useful in applications where you want a continually visible calendar. The user can select a single date from the grid. The control contains forward and back arrow buttons to let you change the month and year. You can disable the selection of certain dates, and limit the display to a range of dates.

The DateField control is a text field that displays the date with a calendar icon on its right side. When a user clicks anywhere inside the bounding box of the control, a date chooser that is identical to the DateChooser control pops up. If no date has been selected, the text field is blank and the current month is displayed in the date chooser.

When the date chooser is open, users can click the month scroll buttons to scroll through months and years, and select a date. When the user selects a date, the date chooser closes and the text field displays the selected date.

This control is useful in applications where you want a calendar selection tool, but want to minimize the space that the date information takes up.
