Hi shanky11,
This can be done using Jquery easily.MAKE IT SIMPLE.
Take a textbox and provide text as "Please enter your name" as below:

<asp:TextBox ID="txt1" runat="server" Text="Please enter your name"></asp:TextBox>
Jquery code

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $(document).ready(function () {

           $("#txt1").focus(function () {

                $(this).val("");

            });

            $("#txt1").blur(function () {

                $(this).val("Please enter your name");

            });

        });

    </script>

In the above code.First I have provided the textbox text as "Plese enter your name" to display the text in the textbox on pageload.I have used "focus" event of jquery to set the textbox value(Textbox text) to null when the textbox got focus..And I have used "blur" event to set the textbox value to "please enter your name" so that when we click outside somewhere,the text appears in the textbox.

Thanking You,
Regards.

hi shanky11,
You can also do this very easily by using "Asp.net ajax".There is a control called "TextBoxWatermarkExtender" in the asp.net ajax control toolkit.
1.First download ajax control toolkit
2.Add the controls in the toolbox simply by adding .dll file of ajaxcontroltoolkit.u can get all the controls present in the ajaxcontroltoolkit.
3.First Drag and drop "asp:ToolkitScriptManager" from Toolbox and use "asp:TextBoxWatermarkExtender" control which is suitable for your scenario.
The code is as follows:

 <asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">

    </asp:ToolkitScriptManager>

    <asp:TextBox ID="txt1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

    <asp:TextBoxWatermarkExtender ID="textext" runat="server" TargetControlID="txt1" WatermarkText="please enter your name"></asp:TextBoxWatermarkExtender>

Here I have taken one textbox and TextBoxWatermarkExtender control.In this ajax control i have specified targetcontrolID as textbox id("txt1") and WatermarkText as "Please enter your firstname" as this text displays in the textbox when pageloaded and also when the textbox looses focus(i.e..,when we clck on somewhere else).And the text disappers automatically when the textbox got focus.

Thanking You,
Regards,
