how to show the displaydate or selecteddate on load for RadDatePicker with current date

                xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

               <telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="datepicker1" Grid.Column="1"
                    Grid.Row="1"  Margin="0,2" 
                    IsReadOnly="False"
                    AllowDrop="True"
                    SelectedDate="{x:Static sys:DateTime.Now}" DisplayDateStart="{x:Static sys:DateTime.Now}"
                    SelectedValue="{Binding  Path=SelectedDate,Mode=OneWay}"
                    />
