I'm working on a windows mobile application and added a numericupdown control.

When get focused it places the cursor at the beginning of the control. What I need is to focus the full text to replace the value with new entered value.

I found in some forums to use

NumericUpDown1.Select(0, NumericUpDown1.Text.Length);

But application does not compile and send the error:
"No overload for method 'Select' takes '2' arguments"

What to do?

Look at the MSDN documentation for the class to see why this overload does not exist.

Well, I found a solution for those with the same situation:

The control does not have that function available for windows mobile, but you can use this great code
