txtBox.SelectAll() equivalent

[Ken]

Hi

I have a client VB App and I'm usign this useful function to select the text
on the Textbox

txtNum.SelectAll()

I Also have a Web C# App and I want to use a similar function , but I can't
find anything in C#, should I think about JScript?

Any Sug

It's not a matter of VB vs. C#. It's a difference between the
System.Windows.Forms.Textbox class and the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Textbox
class. These are 2 different classes and so they don't expose the same
members.

Since you are talking about a web application, you need to ask yourself
*when* you want the text in the textbox to be selected. Do you want it to
happen as the user is entering the text? Before the data is submitted? Or,
after the server has processed the results? This will help you to determine
*where* to write that code. If you determine that it should happen at the
client, then JavaScript is the way to go. If not, it will have to be C#.
