Implementing Calendar DateRange Picker

The WinUI CalendarDateRangePicker (SfCalendarDateRangePicker) control provides an intuitive, touch-friendly interface to quickly select a date range from a drop-down calendar. It supports different date formats, date range restrictions, preset items, week numbers, localization, and extensive UI customization options.
