After the packages are installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars namespaces.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.CalendarsRegister the Blazor service
Open the Program.cs file in Blazor Server App and register the Blazor service.
....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....Add stylesheet and script resources
The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the App.razor file.
...
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
...
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Add Blazor DatePicker component

@rendermode InteractiveServer
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
<SfDatePicker TValue="DateTime?" Placeholder='Choose a Date'></SfDatePicker>Run the application

Setting the Value and Min and Max dates
The following example demonstrates how to set the Value, Min, and Max dates when initializing the DatePicker. In this example, a date can be selected within the range from the 5th to the 27th of the current month. TValue specifies the type of the DatePicker component.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
<SfDatePicker TValue="DateTime?" Value='@DateValue' Min='@MinDate' Max='@MaxDate'></SfDatePicker>
@code
{
public DateTime? DateValue {get;set;} = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year,DateTime.Now.Month,10);
public DateTime MinDate {get;set;} = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year,DateTime.Now.Month,05);
public DateTime MaxDate {get;set;} = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 27);
}
