Well let's say that if will be nicer to have a button in the same form, and then in the form properties set the AcceptButton property to a button that will be activated by pressing enter and the code in the click event will be executed.

Actually it is more difficult to explain it than do it. Take a look here for an example

Solution 2

Add code to handle the KeyPressed event for your text box. In that handler, add code something like:

C#

if (e.KeyChar == '\r')
{
    // add your code here

    // set the Handled flag to true
    e.Handled = true;
}

Edit: Code Formatted.

Solution 4

Just go to the properly window of the form and you will see a property called acceptbutton and if you click on the next colum you will be able to select the login button and this will do the job

you have to set  "defaultbutton" in form tag  Eg.

C#

<form id="form1" runat="server" defaultbutton="ButtonID">
</form>
