Windows Phone 8.1 Datepicker show on click

I've been stuck for couple of hours already finding how i can activate a datepickerDialog from clicking on a menu item. I would like to link the clicked event of the button to the activation of the Datepickerpage.

Is this possible? what are my options ?

Thanks in advance! Button that activates the Datepicker

If you are using standard DatePicker then one way to do it may be (also completely in XAML) to use another DatePickerFlyout and bind its Date:

<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
    <DatePicker Date="{Binding ElementName=myDatePickerFlyout,Path=Date, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</Grid>
<Page.BottomAppBar>
    <CommandBar>
        <CommandBar.PrimaryCommands>
            <AppBarButton Icon="Setting">
                <AppBarButton.Flyout>
                    <DatePickerFlyout x:Name="myDatePickerFlyout" />
                </AppBarButton.Flyout>
            </AppBarButton>
        </CommandBar.PrimaryCommands>
    </CommandBar>
</Page.BottomAppBar>
