I’m wondering which datepicker is more powerful. I see there’s already a Datepicker in Visual Studio, is the one in the wpf toolkit any better?
I’m looking for features such as just being able to display Year, Month, Day. I see datepicker in toolkit has DisplayMode which is good. But doesn’t the regular one support this?
I believe the WPF toolkit was created to fill the need for certain controls which did not exist at the time VS2008 shipped. .NET 3.5sp1 and earlier do not contain these controls natively, but .NET 4.0 does. Since VS2010 ships with .NET 4.0 you don’t need to worry about the WPF toolkit at all unless you are developing for a target platform of .NET 3.5sp1 or earlier.
TL;DR: The WPF and .NET4 time picker control are effectively identical.
