How to set datetime default value in a property?

The DefaultValueAttribute does not actually set the property value but just informs the editor what default value has been set in code. Hopefully the example will clarify the concept.

Imports System.ComponentModel

Public Class MyClass
    Private Const InitialValue As Int32 = 37
    Private pvalue As Int32

    Public Sub New()
        pvalue = InitialValue
    End Sub

    <DefaultValue(InitialValue)> _
    Public Property MyProperty() As Int32
        Get
            Return pvalue
        End Get
        Set
            pvalue = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class

Additionally note that an attribute specifies a constant value so it is not possible to say that a default value is the very variable DateTime.Now.

Hi fiend,

Suppose your textbox id is


<asp:TextBox ID="txtDates" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

call the below code in Page Load will get what u want



txtDates.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");


The Format you can change according to your need I am using dd/MM/yyyy
