Navigation

Calendar

Navigation can be performed by setting the NavigatedDate property of the Calendar.

Alternatively, navigation can be performed using the Navigate method; it takes a parameter specifying the TimeSpan to navigate by. The Calendar can handle exceptions caused by non-representable dates such as DateTime.MaxValue.AddDays(1).

Variable time units such as months can be obtained by using the'AddMonths' method on a DateTime and subtracting the result from the current date. The 'TryAdd' and 'TrySubtract' methods in DateTimeExtensions are useful if you ever plan to navigate to the bounds of the DateTime struct.

Limiting

Navigation can be limited to a specific range of dates by changing the NavigationLowerBound and NavigationUpperBound properties of the Calendar.

Looping

You can specify the behaviour of the CalendarView when trying to navigate outside the bounds defined by NavigationLowerBound and NavigationUpperBound by changing the NavigationLoopMode property.

CalendarView

The CalendarView does not have navigation built into it by default. Instead, it exposes the BackwardsArrowCommand, BackwardsArrowCommandParameter, ForwardsArrowCommand, and ForwardsArrowCommandParameter which can be used to implement this functionality.

The CalendarView displays its navigation bar using a NavigationView. Its appearance can be changed using the NavigationViewTemplate property of the CalendarView.
