wpf toolkit calendar, show selected date as today

How to do that? I would like the textbox in the datepicker to show today's date, not by hardcode, perhaps some binding needed?

try this

<my:DatePicker SelectedDate="{x:Static System:DateTime.Now}" />

Don't forget to add the System namespace

xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

You could always add a DateTime property to your control's code-behind, or to your view model class if you are using one. Just have a property that always returns DateTime.Now (or DateTime.Now.Date, since you don't need the time part) and use that property for your DatePicker.SelectedDate binding.

public DateTime TodaysDate
{
    get { return DateTime.Now.Date; } 
}

Then in the xaml, assuming the DataContext has been inherited from the parent control, your DatePicker would look something like this...

<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding Path=TodaysDate}"/>
