You have to use javascript to set focus to the textbox.

Add these attributes to the body tag of your form:

<body id="bodyElement" runat="server">

Add this line to the code behind in the webform class:
Protected bodyElement As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl

Add this line to the Page_Load method:
bodyElement.Attributes.Add("onload", "Form1.TextBox1.focus()")

where "Form1" is the id of your form, and "TextBox1" is the id of the textbox.
