WebControls enumeration

[Vik]

Is there enumeration for the WebControls?

Thanks.

try something like this

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)
{
if (c.GetType().ToString().Equals("System.Web.UI.WebC ontrols.TextBox")
{
// ...do something...
}
}

If you're using VB try this:

For Each (Control c in Controls)
if TypeOf c is System.Web.UI.WebControl Then
// ...do something...
Next

actually you need to recurse, or you will miss controls in usercontrols,
grids, etc.

walkControls(this.Controls);

void walkControls (Control c)
{
foreach (Control child in this.Controls)
{
walkControl(child);

if
(child.GetType().ToString().Equals("System.Web.UI. WebControls.TextBox")
{
// ...do something...
}
}
}
}

Thanks everybody.
Originally I had code like this which worked fine:

CtlType = ctl.GetType.Name
Select Case CtlType
Case "TextBox"
....
Case "Label"
....
End Select

I changed it to:
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
....
ElseIf TypeOf ctl Is Label Then
....
End If

This code does not work because TypeOf ctl Is Label = True for example when
CtlType="CompareValidator".

ToString.Equals() or == is not very type safe, great for displaying to a
console or output file but in code you should really use "typeof" and "is", after all the code knows these types already and you verify that the code is correct at compile time. You need to itterate though the tree of controls
too as mentioned.
