I am trying to find a WPF 3.0 date picker control. What can you recommend and where is it?

+10  A: 

The WPF Toolkit contains a DatePicker control.

Edit: I forgot to add a link to the DatePicker Walkthrough for info how to use it.

Update: There is no DatePicker control from Microsoft that runs on .Net 3.0. You can either buy a third party DatePicker control, like Telerik's DatePicker for example, or you can go with start with an open source DatePicker implementation and roll your own. Disclaimer: I have not used either of the third party DatePicker controls, so I can't vouch about their quality.

Make sure to use the January 2009 release of the WPF Toolkit. Previous versions had a memory leak in the date picker

Can't use it. Our users are stuck on .Net 3.0.
You can download the WPF Toolkit source, change the target framework to 3.0, and then recompile.

The book Applications = Code + Markup (Charles Petzold) in Chapter 25 has a datePicker control that the Microsoft team has converted to VB.net. The control is written for .Net 3.0. Here is a link to the control and source code.

There's a free date picker control in Kevin's WPF bag-o-tricks at http://j832.com/bagotricks/

And in MS WPF toolkit has Franci Penov said.

I've used the bag-o-tricks one in the past, it works but it isn't perfect.

You can also give a look at these free wpf controls. There is a free datetimeeditor in the suite.
