you can use MouseDown and MouseUP event. In addition you can use MouseMove event with a thread/delegate to get new position of textbox

Your code will look like

int IsMouseDown = false;

Protected void MouseDownEvent(....)
{
IsMouseDown = true;
}

Protected void MouseUpEvent(....)
{
IsMouseDown = false;
}

Protected void MouseMoveEvent(....)
{
if(IsMouseDown)
{
//Call delegate to update TextBox Position
}
}

Thanks

Are you using Win Forms, WPF, ASP.NET? I'll assume, here, that you are using WinForms; you need to catch the mouse down, mouse move and mouse up events on the text box. Then, you just update the position of the textbox based on this.

I am using ASP.net forms

Then you're going to have to write some Javascript to do this - the principal is the same. BTW, you really should have put that you were using ASP.NET in your description. Please try to include as much information as possible in future - we can't guess what you are doing.
