Cannot set Calendar startdate

[amirvenus]

I have tried setting the calendar startday both in XAML and also in code behind.

I have even tried placing it in 3 different areas:

in XAML that didn't work:

<controls:Calendar StartDate="{Binding Date}" EnableTitleMonthYearView="true" x:Name="calendar" Padding="10,0,10,0" StartDay="Monday" SelectedBorderWidth="4" DisabledBorderColor="Black">
            </controls:Calendar>

So I tried adding it from c# code:

 calendar = new XamForms.Controls.Calendar
            {

                BorderColor = Color.Gray,
                BorderWidth = 3,
                BackgroundColor = Color.White,
                StartDay = DayOfWeek.Monday,
                StartDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
            };

and even using the method and field:

 calendar.StartDate = Date;
            calendar.CalendarStartDate(Date);

None of them worked :-(

Am I missing something? I even tried redrawing it forcefully but still, it didn't start the calendar from my designated date. I read I might need to add something to my AssemblyInfo.cs:

[assembly:Xamarin.Forms.Platform.<Platform>.ExportRenderer(typeof(XamForms.Controls.CalendarButton),typeof(XamForms.Controls.<Platform>.CalendarButtonRenderer))]

But, when I type this bit:
[assembly:Xamarin.Forms.Platform.

it does not even include iOS and Droid let alone ExportRenderer

What am I doing wrong here?

I used this and it works fine
calendar.SelectedDate = DateTime.Today;

[ali-h2010]

you can also do

MinDate="{Binding MinDate}"
MaxDate="{Binding MaxDate}"
in Xamal or code behind.

This option is nice if you want to limit the scrolling to the available dates from min to max and not scroll on disabled dates
calendar.DisableDatesLimitToMaxMinRange = true;
