Get the Load-Event and in this event call tbName.Focus() or you can change the tab-order in the form.Tomtom– Tomtom2012-08-29 07:22:11 +00:00Commented Aug 29, 2012 at 7:22

Hope this ll help you. Select will change for user input
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
textBoxName.Select();
textBoxName.Focus();
}
}

In Form_Load event call:
yourTextBox.Focus();
You may look at Control.Focus() on msdn
You may also look at this article to Set the Tab order if you don't want to use Focus()

All Are best answers, but this one is the best in all. :) Thank You Very Much.
Just set the Tab Index property of the textbox as 0. Otherwise you can set call the focus method on load event

I personally use the ActiveControl property. Never failed me as of today.
ActiveControl = Address;
