Why was IsTodayHighlighted deprecated on RadDatePicker?

[John Thompson]

This doesn't make since!  I see the documentation site has RadDatePicker still using RadCalendar but the source has it inheriting from RadDateTimePicker.  RadDateTimePicker does not have this property and highlights the first displayed day when in DatePicker mode.

Hello John Thompson,

Sorry for the misleading caused. All of the properties regarding the RadCalendar configuration are now accessible through the CalendadStyle property of the RadDatePicker and RadDateTimePicker. Removing most of the proxy properties of the control was one of the big refactoring when developing the new RadDateTimePicker control. Check the code snippet bellow, showing you how to use and set the IsTodayHighlighted through the CalendarStyle property:

<telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="datePicker" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                VerticalAlignment="Center">
            <telerik:RadDatePicker.CalendarStyle>
                <Style TargetType="telerik:RadCalendar">
                    <Setter Property="IsTodayHighlighted" Value="True" />
                </Style>
            </telerik:RadDatePicker.CalendarStyle>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>
