Hi,
I have a textbox, which I'm using for searching, when i press a number or alphabet key the data is displayed on the gridview.
Now i want that when i press down arrow key in the textbox, the first row of the gridview got selected and the focus goes to the row so that i can use the a arrow keys to manuver up and down, which is already happening, the only problem is i have to click the mouse on the first row of the gridview.

Problem: i want, that when i press down arrow key in the textbox, the first row of the gridview got selected and the focus goes to the selected row

Thanks to all
Faiz

Let's clarify: are you talking about ASP.NET WebForms and GridView OR WindowsForms and DataGridView?

@Zoltan, its ASP.NET with C# WebApplication GridView
