FilteredTextboxExtenderContol

FilteredTextBox is an extender which prevents a user from entering invalid characters into a text box. FilteredTextBox is an extender that lets users enter only characters that you define into a text box or that prevents users from entering characters that you specify. The control that is extended is the ASP.Net TextBox. The ASP.Net Textbox does not have any Ajax functionality by itself. The FilteredTextBox extender adds Ajax functionality to the textbox by injecting JavaScript in the client side.

        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            Label1.ForeColor = Color.DeepPink;
            Label1.BackColor = Color.Snow;
            Label1.Font.Name = "Comic Sans MS";
            Label1.Height = 85;
            Label1.Width = 550;
