Make a control Readonly using the controls Collection

GP
Is it possible to iterate through all the controls collection and make the
textboxes alone as read only.I don't see a readonly property for the
Control.Can some one help me in this context?
I want to do something like this below.But I get a message Readonly is not
valid property.
foreach (Control ctl in pnlBenefits.Con trols)
{
if (ctl is TextBox)
ctl.ReadOnly=fa lse;
}

I've done it today with a client script. You can place this snippet at the
botton of the page or within a funcion you call when you want. You can write
it in the aspx file or render it exactly where you want.

this is a sample, hope it helps:

<script language="javas cript">
<!--
var inputs = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "INPUT");
var selects = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "SELECT");

for (var i = 0;i<inputs.leng th;i++)
{
if ( (inputs[i].type == "text") && (inputs[i].disabled) )
{

inputs[i].disabled = false;
inputs[i].readOnly = true;
inputs[i].className = "Normal";
inputs[i].tabIndex = -1;

}
}

for (var i = 0;i<selects.len gth;i++)
{
selects[i].className = "Normal";
selects[i].tabIndex = -1;
selects[1].readOnly = true;
}
//-->
</script>

All, myself and another developer have been staring blankly at a screen for the past 48 hours and are wondering just what stunningly obvious thing we are missing.

The user controls are not rocket science - just a few text boxes with public accessor properties. We've...

Hello - I'm using a Repeater control to render information in a very customized grid-like table. The Repeater control is binded to a DataSet with several records of information. Within the Repeater control, I've placed DropDownLists and CheckBoxes. When the user has updated the information, he/he clicks the submit button which is outside the scope of the Repeater control.

Hello, Does anyone have an idea on how I can filter the data in the gridview control that was returned by an sql query? I have a gridview that works fine when I populate it with data. Now I want to look at that data and filter it based on what is in it. I know that this could have been done with data sets and data views in asp.net 1.1 but how is this done now in asp.net 2.0?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
