You should use CSS to achieve this. What you need to do is to style it. Here are some nice examples that could help you.

Here is the one that shows how to add background image:

.tb11 {
    background:#FFFFFF url(images/search.png) no-repeat 4px 4px;
    padding:4px 4px 4px 22px;
    border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
    width:230px;
    height:18px;
}

An asp.net TextBox is really just an input with the type="text".

You can do something like this using stylesheets:

CSS:

input[type=text].styled1
{
    background: url(http://myUrl.com/Username.jpg);
    border:0;
    color: gray;
    height: 23px;
    padding-left:10px;
    width: 200px;
}

XHTML:

<asp:Textbox id="txtUsername" runat="server" CssClass="styled1" />

If you want an easy way to do it, just load easy to use bootstrap framework and include the needed file to your project.

Than just add the right class to your control and here it is !

Also, the docs is really complete and simple

You can create a custom asp.net text box control and wrap oob asp.net text box with necessary html (a label or span) and css to style it like the way you want. That control will become reusable and you would be able to use it on any of your pages.
