I am trying to loop all controls in a form with no success. For
example, Let's say we place three TextBoxes in the form and we use the
code below:
foreach (Control c in Page.Controls)
{
Response.Write( c.ID);
}
It is returning nothing. I check the <form runat="server"> and it is in
there.
What is wrong?

You might need to use recursion to find controls at a "deeper level".
How many items are in this "Page.Controls" ? What's the Type?
Hans Kesting
First, the Page does not contain very many Control in its Controls
Collection. Usually it contains a few Literal Controls and a WebForm
Control. The WebForm Control contains most of the Controls in the Page.
However, some of the Control are probably nested as well. For example, if
you use any UserControls, they almost always contain other Controls.
Now, the Controls Collection of any Control is limited to the Controls that
are immediately under that Control, not those that are nested inside them.
So, you would need to use Recursion to see all of the Controls in the Page.
This is generally done via a recursive function (a function that calls
itself) which takes a Control as a parameter, loops through the Controls in
the Control's Controls Collection, calling itself for each Control.

Thanks Hans Kesting. I returns only one control ctl00, even having
three textboxes. I am using Master Page in Asp.net 2.0.
Rod
I see. So, because I am using Master Page, Page.Controls only recognize
one ContentPlaceHol der. You mean I would have to look inside
ContentPlaceHol derID ?
Rod
Hi Rod,
Well, now, you didn't mention that you're working with the .Net Platform
2.0, or that you're using MasterPages. While that makes things a bit more
complicated, the nice part is that at run-time, everything is merged into a
single Page class. So, you can reference any Controls in your Content Page
the same way you would in ASP.Net 1.1. Any Controls in the MasterPage must
be referenced as Master.ControlN ame.

Well, I should clarify myself. When you're writing code in the MasterPage's
CodeBehind, you don't need to reference Master. But in the Control Page, you
do.

Thanks Kevin, that gave me a clue to build this method. However I would
like to extend it to be used with different controls, for example, a
CheckBox control, and call it ResetControls(c ontrol oControl, object
ControlToReset) , but have the ability to specify which controls to
reset. The problem is that I don't know how to pass the object
ControlToReset in its native type so that I could use it in the "if (c
is CheckBox)" piece of code and then reset the CheckBox. I don't want
to pass the control type as a string like "CheckBox", for instance,
because it would add redundancy to the code since I know which object I
want to reset.
/* Function to Clear TextBoxes. */
static public void ResetTextBoxes( Control oControl)
{
foreach (Control c in oControl.Contro ls)
{
if (c is TextBox)
{
TextBox t = (TextBox)c.Find Control(c.ID);
t.Text = "";
}
if (c.HasControls( ))
{
ResetTextBoxes( c, TxtStrPart);
}
}
}
To call it, in button click event , I would use :
ResetTextBoxes( Master)

How to loop though controls on the form?
I set each control's TabStop and TabIndex, but at run time, I press Tab key,
it jump though first control to last control and does not go back to the
first one unless I use Alt + Tab to go reverse direction.
How can I write C# code to allow user just to use Tab kek to loop though the
controls?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'd like to iterate through each Page of my ASP.NET project from
within a Custom web control and access the Page.Controls collection.
I've tried using Reflection on the web project assembly, but the
controls collection count was zero. While this method gives details
of the private controls in each page, I need access to actual
instances of the controls to interrogate their individual properties.

I changed my aspx page to use a master page. The problem is that I can no
longer loop through the controls on the content page. My question is how do
you loop through the controls on the master page and how do you loop through
the controls on the content page when the content is inside the ContentHolder
control?
Below is an example of the control loop before using a master page.
