just remove the set { } part of the property

Example:

public string Day
{
   get { return txtDay.Text; }
}

I dont know the correlation of where your "txtDay", "txtMonth", "txtYear" come from, but you could do something like

public partial class dateIN : UserControl
{
   ...
   ...

   private bool AllowEditing()
   { return SomeCondition when SHOULD be allowed...; }


   public string Day
   {
      // only allow the set to apply the change if the "AllowEditing" condition
      // is true, otherwise, ignore the attempt to assign.
      set { if( AllowEditing() )
               txtDay.Text = value; }
      get { return txtDay.Text; }
   }

   // same concept for month and year too
}

so may you add some flag to your set when it is true then you set a value. also you can work with textbox property called ReadOnly.
