Unable to access DatePicker's SelectedDate property

[Suj_78]

Hi I have created a class called DatePickerEx.cs that inherits from DatePicker class. Then I created a UserControl called CustomDatePicker.xaml that references the DatePickerEx.cs class in the xaml code.If I bind the "selecteddate" property in xaml at this point, it works good. So far so good. Now, I reference the CustomDatePicker.xaml usercontrol inside another UserControl, at this point I have no way to set the "SelectedDate" property on the new UserControl called CustomDatePicker.xaml, can someone explain me how can I expose the DatePickerEx.cs->DatePicker.cs SelectedDate property via the new userControl CustomDatePicker.xaml to any other consumers of CustomDatePicker.xaml. I need to use some kind of Dependency Property to achive this? Your help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

happy coding!

If you did public class DatePickerEx : DatePicker, then you'll get all the public properties and methods of DatePicker. If that's not working, you did something wrong :). Not sure what since you didn't post what errors you are getting or any code.
