How to empty all textbox in a page

[=?Utf-8?B?SFJzb2Z0IEluZm9ybcOhdGljYQ==?=]

I Have a page (clientes.aspx), inside a masterpage
I have some textbox, and when the user clicks the button 'Cancel', I need to
empty all controls. I tried this, with runtine error:

For Each txtControl As TextBox In Me.Controls
txtControl.Text = ""
Next

error message in runtime:
can't convert as object of type 'ASP.masterpage_master' in type
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'.

Thanks in advance

Yes, that's correct. Think about it...

Your code says iterate through *every* control in the page's control
collection, cast it to a TextBox (even if it isn't), and then clear its Text
property... As soon as the For loop reaches a control which *isn't* a
TextBox, the exception will be thrown.

So...

For Each objControl As Control In Me.Controls
If GetType(objControl) = "TextBox" Then
DirectCast(objControl, TextBox).Text = ""
End If
Next

Apologies if the above isn't syntactically correct - I never go anywhere
near VB.NET...

Plus you may have to recurse if you are on a container that holds
textboxes...

pretty simple:
// find all textbox controls on page
Control[] list = ControlWalker(this, ctl =ctl is TextBox);

// clear text
foreach (Control ctl in list)
{
((TextBox) ctl).Text = "";
}

......
public delegate bool ControlWalkerMatcher (Control ctl);
public Control[] ControlWalker(Control ctl, ControlWalkerMatcher matcher)
{
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
if (matcher(ctl)) list.Add(ctl);
for (int i=0; i < ctl.Controls.Count; ++i)
{
Control[] childList = ControlWalker(ctl.Controls[i],matcher);
if (childList.Length 0) list.AddRange(childList);
}
return (Control[]) list.ToArray(typeof(Control));
}

Apologies, try this instead:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
For Each objControl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf (objControl) Is TextBox Then
DirectCast(objControl, TextBox).Text = ""
End If
Next
End Sub
