How to call TextChanged of TextBox WebForm Control

Question

I use TextBox WebForm Control configured like a Bootstrap Datetimepicker. And I need to initiate server side TextChanged event. The code I have does not work so it does not call server side part.

HTML

<div class='datepicker input-group date' id='datetimepickerStart'>
                                    <asp:TextBox ID="StartDate" class="form-control dateField" placeholder="Fecha" required runat="server" OnTextChanged="StartDate_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
     <span class="input-group-addon">
     <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
</span>
</div>

C#

protected void StartDate_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // It does not fire :(        
}

I try to force this event like this but no joy.

JS

$('#datetimepickerStart').datetimepicker();

$('#datetimepickerStart').datetimepicker().on('dp.change', function (event) {
       console.log(event.date);
      $('#StartDate').change(); // It does not help
      $('#StartDate').html(event.date); // It does not help             
});

Any clue how to fix it?

Solution is to add ApiController and consume via JQuery what I need.
