DateTimePicker Change Value on Click In windows Form Application C#

I Am using a DateTime Picker in WindowsForm Application of C#. I initalize My dateTImePicker with DateTime.Min Value. What I want is that when a user clicks that dropdown It Should Change its value to DateTime.Now Value and show the current value in calendar but I have to first open it then close it and then reopen it to get the required date in calendar. How can I Do it in a single Click? Any Help will be appreciated.

So far I have tried these events:

private void GroupEndingDate_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            GroupEndingDate.Value = DateTime.Now;
        }

        private void GroupStartingDate_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            GroupStartingDate.Value = DateTime.Now;
        }

        private void GroupStartingDate_DropDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GroupStartingDate.Value = DateTime.Now;
        }

The following works just fine for me without having to click the control a second time.

private void dateTimePicker1_DropDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now;
}

But I agree this approach seems a little odd to me. The date will be set every time the control opens up. Why not just initialize it to DateTime.Now in your form's Load event?

Try this in your dropdown event. This worked for me.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3);
}

private void dateTimePicker1_DropDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now;
}
