title: Xamarin.Forms default DatePicker value?
body: <p>How can I set a default or starting value for a Xamarin.Forms DatePicker?</p>
  
  <p>At the moment, it begins on January 1st, 1900. This isn't a very useful date, and worse, a user has to scroll needlessly to get the right year, then the right month.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like the default date to be the current date. I know how to get the current date, and I can set MinimumDate attribute of the DatePicker tag in the .xaml. This will make the current date the start date of the picker, but then I can't go back to a previous year or month.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
