i think You want to use the DateTimePicker control in your Windows Forms program.

dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged. This event handler is very useful on the DateTimePicker. Whenever the user changes the DateTime, this event handler is executed.
try this way :

C#

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Set title bar to selected date.
        DateTime result = dateTimePicker1.Value;
        TExtbox1.Text= = result.ToString();
    }

This control generally shows not a single date, but a range of dates, using the property of MonthCalendar.SelectionRange. You can display the start of this range in you text box, using MonthCalendar.SelectionRange.Start or MonthCalendar.SelectionStart.

Please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.monthcalendar.selectionrange.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.selectionrange.start.aspx[^].

You need to get a string representation of the time (System.DateTime structure) using System.DateTime.ToString with appropriate format. Please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zdtaw1bw.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx[^].

Last two links reference the MSDN article on how to use date/time format.
