Guys,
Friend of mine sent me this recently using generics is pretty cool
/// <summary>
/// this is nice little func from ryan pass it page and it
will get controls
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
/// <param name="ancestor"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
private List<TControlsByTypeUsingAncestor<T>(Control
ancestor) where T : Control{
List<Tcontrols = new List<T>();
//Append to search results if we match the type
if (typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(ancestor.GetType()))
{
controls.Add((T)ancestor);
}
//Recurse into child controls
foreach (Control ctrl in ancestor.Controls)
{
controls.AddRange(ControlsByTypeUsingAncestor<T>(c trl));
}
return controls;
}
}
to get all labels you would do
foreach (Label l in ControlsByTypeUsingAncestor<Label>(this.Page)) {
// do some stuff
}
great thing about it is that is generic you can get anything you like
just pass in the type you want!
Regards
Ismail
