Try the below...

<asp:Calendar ID="calender1" runat="server" VisibleDate="2012-10-10"></asp:Calendar>
<asp:Button ID="btnMNext" runat="server" Text="Next Month" />
<asp:Button ID="btnMPrev" runat="server" Text="Prev Month" />
<asp:Button ID="btnNextYr" runat="Server" Text="Next Year" />
<asp:Button ID="btnPrevYr" runat="server" Text="Prev Year" />
<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="txtcur" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

in code behind

**btnMNext_Click**
String month;
month = calender1.SelectMonthText();
txtcur.Text = calender1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
calender1.VisibleDate = calender1.VisibleDate.AddMonths(1);

**btnPrevYr_Click**
    calender1.VisibleDate = calender1.VisibleDate.AddYears(-1);


**btnNextYr_Click**
    calender1.VisibleDate = calender1.VisibleDate.AddYears(1);
End Sub

**btnMPrev_Click**
    calender1.VisibleDate = calender1.VisibleDate.AddMonths(-1);
