Another useful way to do this is to create a custom page base class that
will emit the necessary javascript into the client code and inherit your
pages from this class.
I have used the following code in one of my projects to achieve this goal:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.UI;
namespace WillcockConsult ing.ProductCata logue.UI.Web.Ut ils
{
public class ProductCatalogu eWebPage : Page
{
protected void SetClientFocus( Control focusControl)
{
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder(2 00, 200);
string clientID = focusControl.Cl ientID;
script.Append(" <script language=\"java script\">docume nt.all.");
script.Append(c lientID);
script.Append (".focus();</script>");
RegisterStartup Script("SetFocu s", script.ToString ());
}
}
}
Then you just need to inherit your page from ProductCatalogu eWebPage (call
this anything you want of course) and call the SetClientFocus method passing
in your control - e.g.
SetClientFocus( textBox1);

The easiest, most reliable way is client side javascript:
MyControl.focus ();
