How does one select all text in a Windows Forms TextBox?

How do I allow select all in my multi-lined TextBox?

It seems weird to me that there would not be a way to do this; there should be something in the framework out of the box.

How about textbox1.SelectAll()?

You can also use

textbox1..Select(0, textbox1.Text.Length);

and turn property HideSelection to False.

Try the SelectAll method (actually located on TextBoxBase). 

TextBoxBase b = GetTheTextBox();
b.SelectAll();
