        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Button cancel is clicked");
        }

        private void textBox1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Escape)
            {
                button2_Click(sender, e);
            }
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
            {

A simple google search would provide you with what you need. If you had googled "C# textbox button click on enter" you should have been able to find the information.

All you have to do is handle the KeyDown event of the TextBox. The Button has a method called PerformClick() as well. In the KeyDown, just check for Enter or escape

C#

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Escape)
    {
        cmdCancel.PerformClick();
    }
    else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
    {
        cmdOk.PerformClick();
    }
}

It's that simple.
