Solution 1

One approach would be to use the textchanged event[^] of the textbox and check if the user has entered a valid date using datetime-tryparse[^] method. Then enable the dropdownlist.
You can enable the dropdownlist by using the Enabled property[^]
ex: yourDropdownID.Enabled = "True";

Solution 2

Set Autopostback property of textbox true

C#

protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   DateTime date1;
   if (DateTime.TryParse(dateString, out dateValue))
        dropdownlist1.Enabled=true;
   else
        dropdownlist1.Enabled=false;
}
