protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // txt_date.Enabled = false; //txt_date.ReadOnly = true; } protected void txt_date_textchanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { lbl1.Text = txt_date.Text; } PopupButtonID="Image2" Format="MMM dd,yyyy"> if i select readonly then will not be able to change date from calender. and if select enabled then will not be able to display textbox text in label.
