应用解决方法后发现here（注意我在Blend 2015）我在第4步：
4. A resource has been created now. Navigate down into the XAML for the resource and find the DatePickerTextBox. Click on it – go to the top Object Menu – Edit Template – Edit a copy.
但是，当我在TextBox 上尝试Edit a copy 时，菜单是灰色的：
请注意，在完成步骤 3 后，我看到了这个错误：
这就是我应用上述解决方法的原因。虽然我不知道这有什么影响——我想做的就是去掉DatePicker上的水印！
