    Hi,

    I have a calendar control with initial date. It could be "Today" or any other date. The Calendar works fine but the initial date is not visually selected. If I click on any date it's get selected and displayed in "red" but I need it selected initially without user intervention.

                                    <TelerikCalendar SelectionMode="@CalendarSelectionMode.Single"
                                                     ValueChanged="@( (DateTime d) => OnBeginDateChangeHandlerAsync(d) )"
                                                     Min="@beginmin" Max="@beginmax"
                                                     @bind-Date="@begindate">
                                    </TelerikCalendar>

    @code {
        protected DateTime begindate { get; set; } = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-8).Date;

    }

    Thanks.

    Hello Andrey,

    You can preselect the desired date by setting the Value field of the Calendar. You can read more information on our documentation and you can see a sample code snippet on how to do that below:

    <TelerikCalendar SelectionMode="@CalendarSelectionMode.Single"
                 ValueChanged="@( (DateTime d) => OnBeginDateChangeHandlerAsync(d) )"
                 Value="@begindate"
                 @bind-Date="@begindate">
</TelerikCalendar>

@code {
    protected DateTime begindate { get; set; } = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-8).Date;

    async Task OnBeginDateChangeHandlerAsync(DateTime date)
    {
        await Task.Delay(20);

        begindate = date;
    }
}

    Hi Svetoslav,

    My bad! I expected that the @bind-Date="@begindate" will do the work.

    Thanks!
