This Kind of Day Format is Changeable in Asp.net Standard Calendar Control but its not possible with Ajax Control Toolkit..

we can change ..the Selected Date Format yet..

Hello Kumaresan
Seems that there is no direct property to set the day format. it's hard coded in the JS files. But since it is an open source project, you can change it like this:
Open CalendarBehavior.debug.js or CalendarBehavior.js (according to your build, debug or release)
Change ShortestDayNames to AbbreviatedDayNames. and rebuild the library.
