Wrap the textbox inside asp Panel tags  Hide a Button that has a click event that does what you want done and give the  lt asp panel gt  a DefaultButton Attribute with the ID of the Hidden Button       lt asp Panel runat  server  DefaultButton  Button1  gt      lt asp TextBox ID  TextBox1  runat  server  gt  lt  asp TextBox gt          lt asp Button ID  Button1  runat  server  style  display none  OnClick  Button1 Click    gt   lt  asp Panel gt

You could wrap the textbox and button in an ASP Panel  and set the DefaultButton property of the Panel to the Id of your Submit button    lt asp Panel ID  Panel1  runat  server  DefaultButton  SubmitButton  gt       lt asp TextBox ID  TextBox1  runat  server    gt       lt asp Button ID  SubmitButton  runat  server  Text  Submit  OnClick  SubmitButton Click    gt   lt  asp Panel gt    Now anytime the focus is within the Panel  the  SubmitButton Click  event will fire when enter is pressed

ahaliav fox  s answer is correct  however there s a small coding problem  Change   lt   Button1 UniqueId  gt     to   lt   Button1 UniqueID  gt     it is case sensitive  Control UniqueID Property     Error  14   System Web UI WebControls Button  does not contain a definition for  UniqueId  and no extension method  UniqueId  accepting a first argument of type  System Web UI WebControls Button  could be found  are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference     N b  I tried the TextChanged event myself on AutoPostBack before searching for the answer  and although it is almost right it doesn t give the desired result I wanted nor for the question asked   It fires on losing focus on the Textbox and not when pressing the return key

My 2c   I have used javascript  but found it did things that were not quite expected   USE the panel s defaultButton attribute property as many of the above posts suggest  It is reliable  EASY  and works in all the browsers I have tested it on
