Hi,
Is there a way to set the focus to a TextBox or a DropDownList from the code
behind? Simething you would do from the client side code wiht
myTextBox.focus() or myTextBox.select().

Thank you.

Yeah, you have to emit a bit of JavaScript. I discuss this and have
source code that shows precisely how to do this in the article:

There's also the free FirstFocus control from Andy Smith:

Happy Programming!
