To set the focus on a control like Textbox when the page loads.

1) Make a field readonly:

txtName.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly")

2) Keyboard enter button is pressed in the textbox and fire an event:

This is done to ensure that when the keyboard enter button is pressed in the textbox we fire the "imgBtnSearch" click event

txtAccountNumber.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return WebForm_FireDefaultButton(event, '" + imgBtnSearch.ClientID + "')")

3) To set the focus on a control like Textbox when the page loads.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "focus", "setTimeout(""try{ document.getElementById('" & txtApplicationNumber.ClientID & "').focus(); } catch(err){}"", 1200);", True)

4) To directly access the key and value of the resource file.

lblApplicationNumber.Text = GetGlobalResourceObject("xxx ", "ApplicationNumber") ////Where Main refers for a file "xxx.resx"

5) To disable controls of a form/page

For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls

                Me.EcollManager.DisableControl(ctrl)

            Next

// Below is the method definition

Public Sub DisableControl(ByVal ctrl As Control)

        For Each subctrl As Control In ctrl.Controls

            DisableControl(subctrl)

        Next

        If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox Then

            CType(ctrl, TextBox).Enabled = True

            CType(ctrl, TextBox).ReadOnly = True

        ElseIf TypeOf ctrl Is RadioButtonList Then

            CType(ctrl, RadioButtonList).Enabled = False

        ElseIf TypeOf ctrl Is CheckBox Then

            CType(ctrl, CheckBox).Enabled = False

        ElseIf TypeOf ctrl Is RadioButton Then

            CType(ctrl, RadioButton).Enabled = False

        End If

    End Sub
