Create a method to remove special characters. On textbox change event write the code.

public static string RemoveSpecialCharacterFromString(string str)
{
return Regex.Replace(str, "[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", "");
}
protected void
txtusername_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string txt =
txtusername.Text;
string username = RemoveSpecialCharacterFromString(txtusername.Text.Trim());
txtsuser.Text = username;
}
VB.Net Code
Public Shared Function RemoveSpecialCharacterFromString(str As String) As String
Return Regex.Replace(str, "[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", "")
End Function
Protected Sub txtusername_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles
txtusername.TextChanged
Dim txt As String = txtusername.Text
Dim username As String =
RemoveSpecialCharacterFromString(txtusername.Text.Trim())
txtsuser.Text = username
End Sub
