I might be tired but why it this throwing an exception: 

```
 this.SomeDatePicker.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now.Date;

```

Same happens with: 

```
 this.SomeDatePicker.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;

```

The error message is:

```
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException was unhandled
  Message=SelectedDate value is not valid.
Parameter name: d

  ParamName=d
