title: WPF DatePicker show DateTime.Today OR Binding
body: <p>What is the best way to have a WPF <code>DatePicker</code> show a predefined <code>DateTime</code> (e.g. <code>DateTime.Today</code>) while still maintaining binding?</p>
  
  <p><code>SelectedDate="{x:Static sys:DateTime.Today}"</code> </p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p><code>Text="{Binding Path=MyPublicProperty.ADateTimeMemberProperty, Mode=TwoWay}"</code></p>
  
  <p>don't play well together. When a <code>UserControl</code> is loaded, I'd like it to display today's date, until a row is selected. Is there a way to make them get along?</p>
