    Hi Kumar, 

    You can do this thing in two ways:

    1) When you have set the datasource of the grid and executed GridName.DataBind(). Then there is event of the grid as ItemDataBound. You need to map the e object of the method agrument to the cell position where your textbox is. Then declare a textbox object and cast it with the object position found as FindControl like this:

    TextBox txtTemp = new TextBox(); 

    txtTemp = (TextBox)e.Items.Cells(0).FindControl("txtName");

    soon you have that object casted in the txtTemp then set the focus in it.

    If (txtTemp != null)

    { txtTemp.Focus(); }

     2) If you have already populated the grid, then loop through the grid and retrieve the row object of the looped row. Find the mapped position as above and set the focus.
