ASP.net Calender Alaways retrun 01/01/0001

Dear Friend
when you are using the asp.net calender in your application you will by default it returns 01/01/0001 in your Calendar1.SelectedDate or Calendar1.VisibleDate

for returning the correct date you need to

This is a reported bug with a workaround: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=110750 

Inspecting the Calendar.VisibleDate or  Calendar1.SelectedDate property the first time a page is rendered always gives: 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM. If you navigate to the next or previous month, then the Calendar.Visible or Calendar1.SelectedDate Date property is correct.

Solution
In the Page_Load, place the following code:

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Calendar1.SelectedDate = Today
End If
