How to select the text in a TextBox

[ad]

I have a Textbox (Text) in a web form.
I use
this.SetFocus(Text1);

to set the focus on Text1.
How can I let the text in Text1 selected when the Text1 get focus?

You can do it on client side with a javascript call myTextBox.select();

When do you want the textbox to get focus and become selected? When the page
loads? When a button is clicked?

ok, you can take this way. Just try

myTextBox.Attributes["onfocus"] = "this.select();";

I use:

myTextBox.Attributes["onfocus"] = myTextBox.ClientID +
".sclect();";

But it can't work.
