private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
textBox2.Focus();
}
}

I want it to switch from textbox1 to textbox2 when I press the "enter" key in this code. When I click enter, it switches to other textbox (textbox 2), but the problem is that when I switch to other textbox it deletes all the items in textbox1. I want it not to be deleted. Please help me. Respects.
Can you add
e.Handled = true
after textBox2.Focus
It seems the event is eating the characters.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35413012/enter-key-clears-content-of-textbox (The thread is about VB.Net but this is similar in C#).
or use
SendKeys("{TAB}")
In this way you convert the "enter"-key to a TAB-key.
The TAB-key is general the key to move to the next control. Advantage of doing this is that you can use taborder to decide which controls should get focus next.

Please explain what happend or did not happen.
I tried you inital code, even that code works at my laptop.
I have a application with 2 textboxes (right from the toolbox).
Type "hello" in textbox1, press "enter"-key
Focus goes to textbox2.
Can you create a test application, that can do just this ?
Are you using winforms ?
