Solution 1

Try myTextBox.SelectionStart . You should get where the caret is

[EDIT]

I've just realized you were talking about asp.net. I think you should use javascript for that, refer this How to get selected text from textbox control with javascript

Solution 2

You can use the property SelectionStart of the TextBox Control. Note that whether the text is selected or not you can use this property to find the position of the cursor.

Full details about this method available here[^].
