Where is the date picker in WinRT XAML?

I see the date picker control in WinRT JavaScript/HTML5. Where is that control for XAML?

There is no date picker control in the standard Windows 8.0 toolbox. However, look at the Callisto for many handy WinRT XAML controls, including the date picker control. https://github.com/timheuer/Callisto

Note that Win 8.1 includes built-in XAML controls for DatePicker, TimePicker. So if you retarget your project to target Win 8.1 you will now get these controls.

You can inspect our package of WinRT components. It contains date picker component as well as a lot of other UI components: radial and plain menus, color picker, rating controls and so on. And it's totally free btw ;).

The best one I've found (complete with templating and xaml friendly formatting options) is:

You can find the following control that looks like the same as the javascript one: https://mytoolkit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/25356#181302.

Syncfusion's WinRT Studio (Beta) includes a very, very good DatePicker and it's free to use.
