Looping thru controls - part 2!!

[Craig G]

i have the routine setup as below. the ctlCollection is populated with Page.Controls. but it only ever brings back 3 controls even though there is more than this on the page

the control types it returns are

1 x "System.Web.UI.ResourceBasedLiteralControl"
1 x "System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm"
1 x "System.Web.UI.LiteralControl"

where am i going wrong?

Cheers,
Craig
Private Sub SetBackgroundColour(ByVal ctlCollection As ControlCollection)

Dim ctl As Control

Try

For Each ctl In ctlCollection

If ctl.GetType.ToString = "Textbox" Then

If CType(ctl, TextBox).Enabled = False Then

CType(ctl, TextBox).BackColor = Color.Transparent

Else

CType(ctl, TextBox).BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow

End If

End If

If ctl.GetType.ToString = "DropDownList" Then

If CType(ctl, DropDownList).Enabled = False Then

CType(ctl, DropDownList).BackColor = Color.Transparent

Else

CType(ctl, DropDownList).BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow

End If

End If

Next

end sub

Where are you invoking SetBackgroundColour method? And what is the
value of the paramter that you are passing?

Page.Controls?

i have a SetMode Method which runs on the page load. For an Add, Edit or
ViewMode

within SetMode i call EnableFields, followed by SetBackGroundColour

and yes the parameter being passed in is Page.Controls

What version of ASP.Net are you using?

AFAIK, this is how it is supposed to work... in 1.1 and this is how I
have been working with in IBuySpy.
