Hello Venkat,

I'm assuming you're asking how to default the RadDateTimePicker to today's date. If so, this is how you would do it:

Code-Behind:

RadDateTimePicker.SelectedDate = DateTime.Today

Or in javascript, you can handle the OnClientLoad event of the RadDateTimePicker:

function OnClientLoad(sender, args) {
    sender.set_selectedDate(new Date());
}

If you're asking how to highlight today's date in the date picker popup. It would look like so:

ASPX:

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePicker1" runat="server">
    <Calendar>
        <SpecialDays>
            <telerik:RadCalendarDay Repeatable="Today" Date="" ItemStyle-CssClass="rcToday" />
        </SpecialDays>
    </Calendar>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

I hope that helps.

Hi Kevin...
I am using raddatetimepicker and my server is in One timezone like "India Standard Time" k...
i need this raddatetimepicker to show its today date as server timezone or specific timezone not client timezone...
some one said timezone setting is not possible for raddatetimepicker in asp.net...
for ajax calender extender i am assigning today's date by finding based on specific timezone ,so it is always hilighting server time only..
one more is when ever client side function sets selected date it is populating in textbox also i don't need that..
when user select only it will populate....
plz see this and give me suggition...
