  if( divCalendar.style.display == "none")
    divCalendar.style.display = "";
  else
    divCalendar.style.display = "none";
}
</script>

private void  Calendar1_SelectionChanged(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
                    //Dispaly in text box
            TextBox1.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

            //Adds in public variable for accessing outside
            DateSelected = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

            //Find calender control and hide
            Control divval = (Control)Page.FindControl("divCalendar");
            if (divval is HtmlGenericControl)
            {
                ((HtmlGenericControl)divval).Style.Add("display", "none");
            }
}

   public string TextBox1Value
        {
            get { return TextBox1.Text; }
        }


Step 4 - Using web control in ASPX Page Dynamically

//Load the control dynamically
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CalendarControl test = (CalendarControl)LoadControl("../CalendarControl.ascx");
            test.ID = "test";
            PNL_Container.Controls.Add(test);
        }

//Get the Date value to page control
protected void BTN_Submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CalendarControl ReqDate = (CalendarControl)PNL_Container.FindControl("test");
            TXT_ReqNo.Text = ReqDate.TextBox1Value;
        }
