Dear Vinz,

Frist i cant find the TextBox Control (which is in EditItemTemplate) in GridView1_RowEditing event.

Second i dont want to fix the cell for focus, user any select any cell in Gridview.

My apology if I didn't follow your question correctly. I'm not on my dev machine right now so I never tested on this but you can try like this:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e){

	if ((e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0) {
	//e.Row.Cells[1].Controls[0].Focus();
	//Or to a specific control in TemplateField
	// e.Row.FindControl("YourTextBoxID").Focus();
           TextBox tb = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("YourTextBoxID");
           string theScript  = "document.getElementById('" + tb.ClientID + "').select();"
ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "onload", "window.onload = function() { " + theScript + " }", true);
	}

}
