For some reason acting on date in the way other than picking it from calendar doesn't change calendars view i.e. you open calendar and select current date (e.g. 25 Jul 2014). Then you change date manually e.g. using up down buttons or mouse wheel to e.g. 25 Jun 2000. Next time you open calendar you'll still see Jul 2014.
Maybe its not a bug but here is an example when it has bad visual experience: you have Value property of DateTimePicker bound to property in data context which is initially unset i.e. 1 Jan 0001. When you change the value of the property the date displayed is correct but when you open calendar you'll see Jan 0001 and you have fun time moving to something closer to present time

Hi jcCodePlex59,
As emartin said, a fixed has been made in v2.4 : Manually changing the date and opening the calendar will show the correct Year/Month/Day.
For the binding to a future date, I don't see the bug in v2.0, v2.1 and v2.2. Here's my sample :
```
<StackPanel>
<xctk:DateTimeUpDown x:Name="Data" Value="2025/01/05" />
<xctk:DateTimePicker Value="{Binding Value, ElementName=Data}" />
</StackPanel>
```
Openning the calendar of the DateTimePicker shows the correct Year/Month/Day, which is January 5th 2025.
