Hi 
Indumathi

,The date in my code is the first of April, not the 4th of January. I'm using the Portuguese date format that is dd_MM_yyyy, and when put the first of April it opens with the 4th of January, that is the problem I'm facing.Regards,Helder

Hi 
Indumathi,Than you for your assistance, the code you send fixes the problem, but makes no sence, passing a date in a different format so the picker can display it correctly.Are you plannig to fix the datepicker, or this is a permanent walkaround?Thank you.Regards,Helder

Hi Helder,

We would like to inform you that the SelectedDate property in the SfDatePicker is of type DateTime. When a value of type String is bound to the DateTime property, it automatically converts into a DateTime value from the framework side. This behavior is expected from the framework. Therefore, we suggested changing the string format type to resolve the reported scenario at the sample level in our previous update. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
