Using standard WPF DatePicker: How to start with years?

Question

I wish the dropdown to show me years instead of the date of today at the start. Remark: Standard WPF DatePicker has no "DisplayMode" as shown in other sources.

dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;    
dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "YYYY dd, mmmm - dddd";

OR:

dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;    
dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "YYYY mm, dddd - dddd";

The Format and CustomFormat only exists in Windows Forms. WPF has no equivalent.

Thank you very much for your answers but I found a solution which I am more content with (using just the standart control)

<DatePicker x:Name="_DatePicker" CalendarOpened="_DatePicker_CalendarOpened" />

 private void _DatePicker_CalendarOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
        // Finding the calendar that is child of stadart WPF DatePicker
        DatePicker datepicker = (DatePicker)sender;
        Popup popup = (Popup)datepicker.Template.FindName("PART_Popup", datepicker);
        System.Windows.Controls.Calendar cal = (System.Windows.Controls.Calendar)popup.Child;
        cal.DisplayMode = System.Windows.Controls.CalendarMode.Decade;
    }

Good Day and Thx

If you use WPF toolkit then

<toolkit:Calendar x:Name="yearCalender" DisplayModeChanged="yearCalender_DisplayModeChanged" DisplayMode="Year" />

C# code:

private void yearCalender_DisplayModeChanged(System.Object sender, Microsoft.Windows.Controls.CalendarModeChangedEventArgs e)
{       
    yearCalender.DisplayMode = Microsoft.Windows.Controls.CalendarMode.Year;
}
