I'd like to have the current date automatically populate a date field when adding a new record.  Is this possible whithout having to use the date picker? 

Try to use the 'Value' property to populate the input field for new records.

what would i put in the value property to show the current date automatically?  Thanks

I've done something like this by implementing the "NewRecordClick" event.  Within that event handler, I put the following lines of code:

// "pageGrid" is the ID of my grid
string dateUpdated = DateTime.Now.ToString(pageGrid.DefaultDateTimeFormat);
pageGrid.Columns["ColumnID"].Value = dateUpdated;

i found this to work - if anyone is interested: 

value=GETDATE()

<WG:DateTime Format="MM/dd/yyyy" ColumnId="Date" AllowEmpty="False" EditAlign="Left" GridAlign="Left" IsInDataSource="True" Priority="40" DisplayCalendar="false" Title="Today's Date" value=GETDATE() Visibility="Edit"></WG:DateTime>
