By simply configuring the CalendarExtender control, developers can establish a smooth integration with a TextBox control, enabling users to conveniently select dates from a visually appealing calendar interface. Similarly, the CalendarExtender control can be effortlessly linked with a Button control, providing an alternative mechanism for users to access and interact with the date selection feature.
