You can use the following code to set the focus:
 

ScriptManager sm = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this);
sm.SetFocus(myTextBox);

To set focus and select text of a you have to use the following:
 

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "selectAndFocus", "$get('" + myTextBox.ClientID + "').focus();$get('" + myTextBox.ClientID + "').select();", true);
