# Highlight Today Date


There are situations when you may want the today's date in the **RadCalendar** highlighted. You can easily achieve this with couple of lines in the markup.


````ASP.NET
<telerik:RadCalendar runat="server" ID="RadCalendar1">
    <SpecialDays>
        <telerik:RadCalendarDay Repeatable="Today">
            <ItemStyle CssClass="rcToday" />
        </telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    </SpecialDays>
</telerik:RadCalendar>
````



>note 
If you are using **RadDatePicker**  or **RadDateTimePicker** you can use the same approach to highlight the today date in the calendar popup. You need to set the **SpecialDays** for the underlying **Calendar** control.
