It seemed like this issue was supposed to have been fixed in Community Edition v2.3.0, in response to [this issue](https://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/workitem/21179). However I do not see any change. Regardless of how I set the current DateTime (the Value property), either through data binding, through the up/down spinners, or through direct textbox editing of the date, the calender drop-down always has today's date selected.
Although I don't think it is a workaround, there is a way to get it to behave properly: After making a date selection via the calender itself, it seems to "wake it up"; after that it seems to stay synchronized with the Value property.

Hi,
I can not reproduce the issue in Toolkit v2.4, VS2012, .net 4.5.
The blue rectangle is always on the Value property of DateTimePicker.
Here's my test :
-Today's date is March 11th 2015. DateTimePicker.Value is set to 2105/3/3.
-Spinning 3 times Down Arrow will set DateTimePicker.Value to February 28th 2015.
-Opening the Calendar will show the blue rectangle on February 28th 2015 and we won't see the gray rectangle of today's date because it's in the second week of march 2015.
-Spinning 13 times Down Arrow will set DateTimePicker.Value to February 15th 2015.
-Opening the Calendar will show the blue rectangle on February 15th 2015 and we won't see the gray rectangle of today's date because it's in the second week of march 2015.
