Type

A dependent property of the DatePicker Control, it sets the data type of the date. The default value is Date.

To simply display year-month-day in the DatePicker, you would set the Type to "Date". Setting it to "Year" will display the year, Month will display the month, and Week will display the week. "Date Range" and Month Range allow you to specify a range of dates in the From ~ To format.
