I am using web server controls...when the error occurs I want to display it
as an alert and after clicking ok to that alret dialog I want to set the
focus to the incorrect value (text control in mycase)

How can I do this using web server control code...

thanks

You'll need to emit javascript manually to set the focus to the control.
So something like:

Page.RegisterOnStartupScript("MySetFocus", "window.setfocus('" + MyControl.ClientID
+ "')");

Double check the javascript, but I think that's it.
