RadDatePicker default date

[Joseph Wong]

I am using a databound RadDatePicker in a custom edit form of a RadGrid. How do I set the default date to the current date?

Hello Joseph,

You can access your RadDatePicker using a similar code:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.IsInEditMode && e.Item is GridEditFormItem)
    {
        (e.Item.FindControl("RadDatePicker1") as RadDatePicker).SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;
    }
}

Let me know whether this helps.
