You can use the DatePicker and TimePicker WinJS controls in your app to allow your users to select dates and times. This sample shows what you can do with them, including showing and hiding different elements of the control, setting the maximum and minimum year ranges, styling the elements, and responding to changed dates and times.

This sample is written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. For the XAML version, see the XAML DatePicker and TimePicker controls sample.
