        DatePicker,TimePicker and Tab Controls are missing. These are basic controls using in any application.

        This would have saved me alot of time if I didn't have to create / implement these to my project by myself.
        You've got my vote.

        date control is a basic control needed for any type of app. |s there any reason behind for missing it in xaml? else is there any other way to include it

        There's isn;t one bundled with the sdk, but you can find a XAML/C# version from windows8datecontrol.com

        There's a small fee but it saved me a load of development time! It doesn't look too bad either.

        Date, Time and DateTime Pickers are very important to Windows Store Apps and will be often used!

        Please add these controls. Buying things like this from 3rd parties (no matter how good they may be) just isn't an option for many people, and some people don't want to buy a Date/Time Picker when that is something that has always been, and should always be natively supported.

        Phone.Codeplex.com has these and if you want a timespan picker, use coding4fun.codeplex.com controls

        Canvas to Image conversion functionality is unavailable at present. Kindly try include it or give its alternative.

      • Mayank AgrawalMayank Agrawal commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Kindly include it as it is a necessary control which has surplus uses. Kindly let us know any progress on this.

        How is a date time picker and a calendar control still missing? These are basic controls need for any type of business app. Please start working on this immediately!

        I should be focusing on developing the application but it seems like I am having to reinvent the wheels myself because the fundamentals are not available. This would definitely lead to inconsistent datetime pickers by each developer. Forget about using Telerik as we are not going to be forking out $$$ for just a date-time picker.

        I wonder why it is not there. It is present in javascript type control. It is not good to create one ourself using comboboxes in xaml
