Finding Controls in a Page

[mayankaswal]

I am trying to go through all controls in a page and if its a text box then making it non editable.... how do i go about it...

[Plater]

There is like a Page.Controls or Page.Components or something.
loop through them checking to see if they are of type textbox.
If they are, mark them as readonly.

I am trying to do something like this... but their is no option as where to match the control if its a text box....??

foreach (Controls control in Page.Controls)
{
if control.?? = textbox
{
}

}

[Plater]

should be something like

foreach (Control c in Page.Controls)
{
   if (c.GetType()==typeof(TextBox)
   {
      ((TextBox)c).ReadOnly=true;
   }
}

The system is not giving my any option when I put a . after c.....

when i try this

if(c.??? I get nothing.... have you tried this on your system???

Did you note this line change?

foreach (Controls c in Page.Controls)

When I type in your code

foreach (Controls c in Page.Controls)
{
if (c.GetType() == typeof(TextBox))
{
// No Statements here till now
}
}

It gives me followiing error.....

........Controls' is a 'namespace' but is used like a 'type'

The type or namespace name 'TextBox' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

OOPS! That is my fault!

foreach (Control c in Page.Controls)

Maybe it will work... I guess...:)

where do I include textbox and contol???

I have included
using system.text.
using system.collections
using system

[Plater]

Well if you have Page.Controls and don't have Control, you're in bigger trouble then not matching a textbox type.
But yeah, go to the aspx code page and look for the include/using statements up top and add them to the file were you are.
