also change your button click event to the following: protected void Button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { DateTime date = Convert.ToDateTime(tb_select_date.Text); CalendarExtender1.SelectedDate = date; // add this line }

set ReadOnly=False for the textbox.

page load event code is here if (!IsPostBack) { CalendarExtender1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now.Date; DateTime date = DateTime.Now.Date; tb_select_date.Text = date.Date.ToShortDateString(); GenerateEmployeeList(date); } and button click code is this protected void Button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { DateTime date = Convert.ToDateTime(tb_select_date.Text); GenerateEmployeeList(date); } html page                 this html page code is enclose in a contentplaceholder master page

Are you setting the default date in the Page_Load() event? If so you need to check the IsPostBack flag before setting the date: Page_Load() { if (!IsPostBack) { DateControl.SelectedDate = DateTime.Today; } }
