Answer 1

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));

Answer 2

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

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