Hi Divya,

If you are using ASP.NET you could do the following

  ID="MainPanel" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnGoToNextForm">
   
   

  >


Then wire up the btnGoNetForm clicked event will be triggered when the user presses enter in one of the two textbox fields.

Another way you can do this is to put a button on your form which when clicked will open a new form:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.Show();
}

Next, in the Form_Load event handler, set the present form's AcceptButton property to this button:

this.AcceptButton = button1;

You can also do this in the Properties Box rather than in code.

Now, when the user presses enter whilst the focus is on either TextBox, the new form will open. The user also has the option of doing this by clicking the button.

You can look at the KeyDown event OR KeyPress event

For a windows forms application (not 100% clear from your description), below a little demo

        private void textBox2_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            char x = (char)e.KeyValue;
            if (x == 0x0A)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("0x0A", "KeyDown");
                e.Handled = true;
            }
            if (x == 0x0D)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("0x0D", "KeyDown");
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

        private void textBox2_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            char x = e.KeyChar;
            if (x == 0x0A)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("0x0A", "KeyPress");
                e.Handled = true;
            }
            if (x == 0x0D)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("0x0D", "KeyPress");
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

0x0D seems the right one for .

Note: please use decent titles for your threads.
