Is there no DatePicker for xaml in Windows 8 Metro?

Question

According to this tutorial, the DatePicker control is definitely present in the Javascript for Windows 8 Metro. So far I could not find it for the c#/xaml stack. Does anybody know if it is there and if not - if it will be available in the future?

Answer 1

No, there is no built-in DatePicker usable from XAML in the Windows 8 Developer Preview.

Answer 2

You can also inspect our pack of Windows 8 controls (I'm sorry for this ad, but it seems to be relevant to the question)

Answer 3

There is no built in datepicker for XAML, but there I found one here:

that you can use if you cant afford Telerik ;)

Answer 4

Telerik however have controls, including a datepicker in their Windows 8 offering: http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-metro/controls/chart.aspx
