Use the Control.MousePosition static property as follows:

void Form1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    Point screenPosition = MousePosition; 
    Point clientPosition = PointToClient(screenPosition);
}

You can get the current cursor position using the Cursor.Current static property:

var x = Cursor.Current.Position.X;
var y = Cursor.Current.Position.Y;

Note that the MouseEnter event only fires when the cursor enters the control boundary. That may be what you want, but your last sentence seems to indicate you want to know when the mouse moves within a control. In that case, MouseMove may be a more appropriate event to handle.
