C#

private void TextBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.KeyChar == '\r')
     {
	if (this.ActiveControl != null)
        {
            this.SelectNextControl(this.ActiveControl, true, true, true, true);
        }
	e.Handled = true; // Mark the event as handled
     }
}

Solution 1

One possible way is to handle the KeyPress[^] event, check for ENTER key and set the focus to the next control.
But for your case I'd prefer creating a user control which inherits TextBox and overrides the KeyPress method.
If the user presses ENTER you can call Control.SelectNextControl() or SendKeys.Send("{TAB}"). :)

If you think that it is proper why you give me a 2? You know that 1 and 2 are down-votes and 4 and 5 are up-votes, right? :)

Thanks for your answer.
Once implement i am getting the required result but, a beep of sound is present.Is there any way to avoid it ?
I do not know why its coming but i want to avoid it.

Probably you miss to mark the KeyPress event as handled. In your KeyPress event handler you should have a KeyPressEventArgs e as a second parameter. Set the Handled property of this parameter to true when you handle the ENTER key press.

Example:
void TextBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == '\r')
{
SelectNextControl();
e.Handled = true; // Mark the event as handled
}
}

I hope this helps. :)
