In the Designer

To change the date format, complete the following steps:

1. Click the C1DatePicker control once to select it.
2. In the Properties window, click the C1DatePicker.SelectedDateFormat drop-down arrow and select an option from the list. For this example, select Long.

In XAML

To change the date format, place SelectedDateFormat="Long" within the <c1:C1DatePicker> tags so that the markup resembles the following:

<c1:C1DatePicker SelectedDateFormat="Long">
