# cant find MinDate Property in WPF Calendar Control

Hi [Developers](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12875/blunders-you-must-avoid-while-hiring-java-developers-to-get-the-best-fulfilling-your-needs),\
I can't find **minDate** [Property](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/205/property-notification-in-c-sharp) in [Calendar control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/308/monthcalendar-control-in-vb-dot-net) in **[WPF](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/304/wpf) 4.0.**\
If there is no **minDate** or **maxDate** property in Calendar Control then how could I achieve the same?\
Any help would be amazing thank you!

Hi Ashish,\
Are you just looking to restrict the selectable beginning/ending dates? If so you can use DisplayDateStart and DisplayDateEnd:\
**Try as following**\

```
    <Grid>        <Calendar ... DisplayDateStart="5/1/2013" DisplayDateEnd="3/31/2014" />    </Grid>
```

\
I hope it resolve your problem.
