i had designed a win app(an address book)

when the user wants to enter the contact he will type in all the
details and "HE SHOULD CLICK ON THE ADDENTRY BUTTON PROVIDED"

i want to simplify this task for the user by allowing the data to bw
added in database when "HE PRESSED ENTER KEY AFTER ENTERING THE
DETAILS"

how can make a button as default button and that button is should be
activated when we press the ENTER key from keyboard

A 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' has a property 'AcceptButton'. In the
designer, the property value selection for 'AcceptButton' allows you
to pick any of the buttons on the form. Related you also have a
'CancelButton' property.

Alternatively, you can add an event-handler for the 'KeyDown' or
'KeyPress' events. The argument is of type
'System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs' and thus will tell you what button
(for example: 'enter') was pressed.
