I would like to have the user input a date in one datepicker, then underneath input the number of weeks between the two dates. The second datepicker will then assign that date weeks, days or years later.

What I have tried:

I have the two datepickers and the textbox:
<datepicker x:name="Date1"
="" focusable="False" displaydate="01/01/2022" displaydatestart="01/01/2022" displaydateend="12/31/2022" istodayhighlighted="True">

<textbox x:name="Text 1"
="" tooltip="Enter the number of weeks between dates" background="AliceBlue" borderbrush="Black" borderthickness="2" textalignment="Center" horizontalalignment="Stretch">

<datepicker x:name="Date2"
="" focusable="False" displaydate="01/01/2022" displaydatestart="01/01/2022" displaydateend="12/31/2022">

Take the number of weeks, multiply by 7, and pass that to the DateTime's AddDays method. What's the problem?

How would you do that? I tried this way (if (int.TryParse(Text1.Text, out int weeksToAdd) && Date1.SelectedDate.HasValue)
Date2.SelectedDate = Date1.SelectedDate.Value.AddDays(7 * weeksToAdd);) but I'm still getting an error.

Show the complete code from this ... and tell when it is called ...

It says that the nullable type might be null
And that datepicker does not contain a Add days feature

Richard did not suggest using Add on the Datepicker.
As this is an assignment I will not give you the code, but here are the steps to follow and some reference material you may find useful

1. Create a DateTime variable
2. Assign the Date value from the first DatePicker to that variable
3. Extract the number of weeks from the TextBox - you might find Int32.TryParse Method (System)/a>[^] useful
4. Multiply the number of weeks by 7 to get the number of days to add
5. Use the datetime.adddays[^] to add the results from step 4 to the variable you populated in step 2
6. Assign the value of the results of step 5 to the second datepicker
