Answer 1

Add this inside your [head] Tag.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
and use this jquery function in aspx page inside [script] tag
$(function () {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
$("#datepicker").change(function () {
$('#btnRefresh').click();
});
and add one textbox for display selected date. and button for getting the date in sever side. like this code
<input type="text" id="datepicker" runat="server" clientidmode="Static" />
<asp:Button ID="btnRefresh" runat="server" onclick="btnRefresh_Click" ClientIDMode="Static"
Text="Refresh" AutoPostback="true" style="display:none;"/>
use this onclick event to do want you want..

You're right, there isn't anything built-in.
Personally I would recommend the jQueryUI datepicker - it's reliable and flexible, and it's javascript based, so it doesn't matter what your server-side language is.
See https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/
Once you've added the required references to jQuery and jQueryUI, in your aspx page, add a script section like this:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(function () {
//initialise the datepicker with the date format specified
$(".datepicker").datepicker();
});
</script>
and then add the "datepicker" class to any textbox controls on the page where you want to use the datepicker:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt_MyDate" CssClass="datepicker" MaxLength="10" />
P.S. I can also recommend most of the rest of the jQueryUI package, there are some useful items in there which can speed up your development time and make your apps look nicer and be more usable.

You can implement a datepicker on your page with the help of the Calendar control, using javascript on your page. Try this links for simple methods to do it:
