Unable to bind dates in DateNavigator

Question

Trying to pick a variable from the context to bind startsWith or firstSelectedDate for the DateNavigator control - but the property gets masked as MM/DD/YYY. 
For example,  in view MAIN I created a context root attribute caklled 'START_DATE" but instead of setting the property as "MAIN.START_DATE" as expected  it sets it as "S/TA/MAIN".
Is there something else needed to set the property as a context variable and not an actual date?  Has anyone else seen this problem?

Hi Mike,
the property value is just as you said "NA.T_.V_DA" strange.. that is what i meant harmless bug.
My view name is V_DAT_NAV, attribute name is start_date, after binding the name appears as above.
Now i understand what the documents described about "no binding needed" something like that. You can very well enter a actual date over there like 01012010.
Anyway.. i guess you understand now what is going on !!
Actually i misunderstood your first post, i thought that you have problem at runtime. That is why i posted that it is working fine.
Now I do understand that posted regarding the design time appearance of the binding value.
