Setting focus to text in a TextBox control

[Craftor]

Hi all

I have an .aspx page with a textbox webform control. Basically what I want to do is - if the user enters an incorrect user name and password, I want to be able to inform them and set focus back to the incorrect item - with the incorrect text selected. The informing is not a problem - I just don't know how to select the text and set focus back to the text box. Is there any property or method I can use to do this?

Thanks as always

Is it as simple as using .Focus() for the TextBox in question.
Hope that this helps.

No unfortunately not :-(

It's a web forms text box (in ASP .NET in case I was a bit unclear) so that method is not exposed.

I know it can be done in JavaScript - but I'd specifically like to do it in my C# code to cater for the specific scenarios mentioned above.

Thanks anyway! ;-)
