If you are using Telerik UI Control instead of normal textbox try this : private void textBox1_Validated(object sender, EventArgs e) { if ((( Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTextBoxControl )sender).Text == "") { (( Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTextBoxControl )sender).Text = "1"; } } Or simply set text value on Form Load if textbox value is blank. if (txtunits.Text == "") { txtunits.Text = "1"; }
