If you are using Visual Studio you can edit the tab order of the controls.
The TextBox with the lowest tab order will recieve the focus.
Select tab order editing in the View menu.

Set the textbox' tab order to zero. Just click the number you see, set other controls accordingly. To leave tab order mode, just click View menu tab order again. Should work, succes!

Hi Avirag,
You can use the following code on form_load event :

this.textBox1.Focus();

Hope it works............
