# DateFormField.DateFormat Property

> Gets or sets the date's format. For a certain DateFormField the format string should be one of the strings returned through the SupportedDateFormats property. A TextControl uses Day, Month, Year, and Era Format Picture strings to format a date. When this property is an empty string, which is the default value, a default format is used depending on the culture set for the date field's text.
