You need a submit button with default focus on it. For that, you need to add "DefaultButton" property for the page.

In ASP.NET 2.0 onwards, it's said to have "Default Button" defined for the page. By simply specifying the "defaultbutton" property to the ID of the <asp:Button>, whose event you want to fire, your job is done.
The defaultbutton property can be specified at the Form level in the form tag as well as at panel level in the <asp:panel> definition tag. The form level setting is overridden when specified at the panel level, for those controls that are inside the panel

Sample example:

<form id="Form1"
    defaultbutton="SubmitButton"
    defaultfocus="TextBox1"
    runat="server">

Refer:
ASP.NET DefaultButton Property[^]
Sample usage of Default button[^]

No need of any key code or so. Using above, default behavior of enter press would direct it as defined for that button click.

Hi,
You have to do the coding in the textbox1_KeyDown Event

C#

Public void textbox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
    {
        //Your Code
        //Button Click event code
    }
}

Hope this will help you.

OP is asking for ASp.NET. What you suggested is Winforms.
