@jirikanda @crdo What do we expect the component to do?

• throw an exception on invalid parameters?
• override the Min/Max parameters to include current value?
• something else?

throw an exception on invalid parameters?

From my perspective, everything is valid.

• User (in the past) entered some value which is saved in the database.
• We are showing user's value and let the user fix the value to the current min-max date range.

Not entirely sure, but you are probably right.

The current documentation/specification states "The first/last date selectable from the dropdown calendar." for the MinValue/MaxValue parameters. We could allow the Value to be outside these bounds, but the dropdown calendar will still only allow selections within the MinDate..MaxDate range (as far as I know, we don't use these boundaries for validation; it's up to the user to validate the value in the model). So technically, we can open a calendar dropdown for the month of the currently selected value, but still with "disabled" values (strikethrough).
