My question is how do i get reference to parent page's (view1) textbox and date picker control from partial page ?

If you were talking about ASP.NET Webforms code behind files and you would like to access a control in the page via a user control object, you could use

Page.[property here]

In ASP.NET MVC you can pass data between code and views through the ViewBag property or the Model. Let's say that you have a partial view that has to receive some kind of data. You can define the object type of the data as @model [type] on top, and then pass the object from the main view with

@Html.RenderPartial("_name", modelobject)

Inside your partial view you can access that data using

@Model.[property]
