DateFieldElement in Custom Module, Default Value - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

Hey all,

I'm using a DateFieldElement in my custom module:

var meetingDateTimeField = new DateFieldElement(mainSection.Fields)

ID = "meetingDateTimeFieldControl",

DataFieldName = "MeetingDateTime",

DisplayMode = displayMode,

Title = "MeetingDateTime",

CssClass = "sfFormSeparator",

ResourceClassId = typeof(MeetingsResources).Name,

WrapperTag = HtmlTextWriterTag.Li,

Value = DateTime.Parse("5/1/2011 12:15:12 PM"),

;

My question is... how do you set a default value in for this field? As you can see, I've tried doing this with a .Parse function. I've also tried with DateTime.UtcNow. I've tried going into the settings and manually setting the value as well. No matter what, my control always defaults to 1/1/1901, which as you can imagine, is extremely hard to work with when you are wanting to tab through calendar months to now.

Any tips?

Thanks

- William
