title: How to bind the "date" of DatePicker in C#/Silverlight?
body: <p>How can I bind the "date" of DatePicker from the Silverlight Toolkit correctly? I use the following XAML-Code:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;sdk:DatePicker 
  x:Name="DpDate" 
  Width="200" 
  Height="25" 
  DisplayDate="{Binding Date, Mode=TwoWay}" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I pick a Date my ViewModel recieves the changes. But my View doesn't recieve the start value from the ViewModel? Or how can I set the current date? </p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: The "TwoWay"-Binding works with a TextBox in the same View/ViewModel. I think my problem is that I'm not sure what Attribute I should use for the Binding of the DatePicker. Should I use Text, DisplayDate or sth. else? </p>
