| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Nullable<DateOnly> | DateOnly value equal to DateTime.Today | The value displayed in the empty editor when a user starts to enter data. |
Remarks
If the editor’s value is not set, the editor displays the DefaultDate when a user opens the drop-down calendar.
The DefaultDate property does not affect the value that the empty editor returns. Use the BaseEdit.NullValue property to specify the editor value when its value is null.
