How to submit a form using the Enter key in asp.net

I have 3 buttons in a form. One of them is the submit button. How can I make it the default button to be clicked when I press the enter key. Is there a property for this?

Method 1

There is a property for the form: defaultbutton.

<form runat="server" defaultbutton="myButton">
...
</form>

It is first time implemented in ASP.NET 2.0.

Method 2

Another helpful tip is that you can set the default button on asp:panel’s too.

Method 3

Or you can do it in code – Page_load:

Page.Form.DefaultButton = btnSearch.UniqueID;

Whenever you press enter the btnSearch control will be used as default.
