FormatPattern Property (DateUpDown)

Gets or sets the DateTimeFormatPattern that will be used to display the DateOnly value.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property FormatPattern As DateFormatPattern

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DateUpDown
Dim value As DateFormatPattern
 
instance.FormatPattern = value
 
value = instance.FormatPattern

public DateFormatPattern FormatPattern {get; set;}

Remarks

The default value is LongDate.

Note that when a Custom value is used for this property, it is also necessary to use the CustomFormatString property; this is done in order to set the string that will contain the date symbols.

You can refer to the example below to see how this can look in your code.

The following code would display this control:

XAML

<xctk:DateUpDown WidthRequest="300"
                 FormatPattern="Custom"
                 CustomFormatString=" 'Date is' yyyy/dd/MM"/>
