Craig G

how do i go about this thru serverside code (VB.NET)? any links to any
articles anywhere?

basically i just want something simple that will loop thru all txt & cbo
server side controls, and then set there back color dependant on whether
they are enabled or not

Cheers,
Craig

Hi Craig,

All controls are stored in the Controls property of the Page
control.

for each current as Control in Page.Controls
' do whatever you want to
next

Hope that helps.

each aspx page (System.Web.UI. Page) has a Controls collection, you can
iterate through this collection to acces the top most controls on a page,
don't forget that certain controls can contain 'child' controls so you will
have to iterate through these controls as well to access all the controls on
a page. You will also have to cast the control to specified type.

e.g. something like

foreach(System. Web.UI.Control control in Page.Controls)
{
if(control is System.Web.UI.C ontrol.TextBox)
{
}
......
}

ASP And User Controls

Hello, I have created a User Control within Visual Studio and it contains a button that allows the user to querry a database.
