This should work, unless I misunderstand your question...

startdatepicker.SelectedDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 1);

Thank you @seano666 – GN2271 Jun 27 '17 at 23:06
@seano666---> DtPickerEndDatee.SelectedDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.AddDays(-6), 1);<----- – GN2271 Jun 29 '17 at 16:37
DateTime.Now.AddDays(-6) is not a valid value for the month. – Seano666 Jun 29 '17 at 16:54
DtPickerEndDatee.SelectedDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-6), 1);-----I tried as this, it's not working\ – GN2271 Jun 29 '17 at 16:56
Cannot convert system.datetime to int --error under addmonths @seano666 – GN2271 Jun 29 '17 at 16:57
There are several problems here. You are trying to pass a DateTime object for an int parameter, and also what if subtracting 6 months takes you back to next year? In that case, you do not want to use the current year in the constructor. – Seano666 Jun 29 '17 at 17:01
Yes, that a good point. How to show like date 1= 6 months back date 1 – GN2271 Jun 29 '17 at 17:06
date 2 = current month date 1 @Seano666 – GN2271 Jun 29 '17 at 17:07
Why don't you ask a new question, it's confusing what you are trying to do. – Seano666 Jun 29 '17 at 17:09

I got it by:

DateTime end = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 1);
enddate.SelectedDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 1);

start.SelectedDate = (end.AddMonths(-6));
