Solution 1

Look at a DateTimePicker[^] control - it does what you want!

Yes i already taken datetimepicker and hided it, when the user clicks on textbox the user can see the calender, but i am not getting the selected date in textbox.

Why not just use the DateTimePicker instead of the textbox? It drops down the calender, and returns to a TextBox-like state when the user has picked it. If you use a regular TextBox, then you risk the user entering a corrupt date directly - a DateTimePicker will not allow that.

Solution 2

It is a bad UI design. You are using wrong controls. What is the problem with using DateTimePicker? It is meant to let user provide datetime input.
