Hi Shraddha,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We have analyzed your query and we can achieve your requirement of “Set default date as today date” by setting SelectedItem property of SfPicker as like below code snippet.

XAML:

 

<picker:CustomDatePicker 

            x:Name="date" 

            ColumnHeaderHeight="40" 

            HorizontalOptions="Center" 

            PickerHeight="400" 

            PickerMode="Dialog" 

            PickerWidth="300" 

            SelectedItem="{Binding StartDate}" 

            VerticalOptions="Center" /> 

ViewModel:

 

    public ObservableCollection<object> StartDate 

    {​​​​​​​ 

            get {​​​​​​​ return _startdate; }​​​​​​​ 

            set {​​​​​​​ _startdate = value; RaisePropertyChanged("StartDate"); }​​​​ 

     } 

 

    public DatePickerViewModel() 

    {​​​​​​​ 

        ObservableCollection<object> todaycollection = new ObservableCollection<object>(); 

 

        //Select today dates 

        todaycollection.Add(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Date.Month).Substring(0, 3)); 

        if (DateTime.Now.Date.Day < 10) 

            todaycollection.Add("0" + DateTime.Now.Date.Day); 

        else 

            todaycollection.Add(DateTime.Now.Date.Day.ToString()); 

        todaycollection.Add(DateTime.Now.Date.Year.ToString()); 

 

        this.StartDate = todaycollection; 

    }​​​​​​​ 

We have created sample based on this and please find the sample from below.

We have SfDatePicker control also for select the dates, please refer more details about SfDatePicker. By default it will take the today date as default date.
