    Property Value

    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.
