Hello Carlos,

If you are using a GridDateTimeColumn, then you can set a default value to the datepicker when in EditMode as shown below.
cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {
                GridEditableItem dataItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                RadDatePicker datePicker = (RadDatePicker)dataItem["columnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
                datePicker.MinDate = DateTime.Today;
            }
    }

And if you are using a TemplateColumn with a datepicker then you can set the default date as shown below:
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker3" SelectedDate="<%# DateTime.Today %>" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadDatePicker>
        </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks

Hello Carlos,

Below given is the VB code to set a default value to the datepicker(GridDateTimeColumn) when in EditMode:
VB:

     Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs)
         If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
             Dim dataItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
             Dim datePicker As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(dataItem("columnUniqueName").Controls(0), RadDatePicker)
             datePicker.MinDate = DateTime.Today
         End If
     End Sub

You can try out the following code converter tool to convert from VB to C# and vice versa.
