In my opinion OP want to submit data with pressing enter in the textbox, then do sth with string from textbox. So if I understand it right here is solution to do this:

//aspx
<asp:Panel ID="pnlSubmit" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnSubmit">
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID = "txbText"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" />
</asp:Panel>



//aspx.cs
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string textFromTextBox = txbText.Text;
//do sth with that string
}

The textbox has a TextChanged event that will fire when the focus leaves the textbox. If this isn't good enough for you, your going to need to use javascript and the onkeypress event. As there's no description of what your doing after the event, I'm not sure what to offer as sample code.
