Year field
The Year field in the CalendarView caption can be shown in the form of field or list. By default, the year in the CalendarView caption is shown in the form of field since the PeriodSelectionType is set to Field value. The year field enables you to input any year value and jump to that specific year right from the current year. However, the input year value should lie in the range of selectable dates.
