VB Visual Web Developer 05, Loop through TextBox Controls

[PAHSTeacher]

I have programmed recreationally in VBA for a few years.
I am making a simple website with Visual Web Developer 2005 (ASP.NET), using VB (for the first time).

I would like to loop through all of the text boxes on my simple webpage and concatenate the text value of each textbox into one string.

I can concatenate manually, e.g.

Dim s As String
        s = ""
        s = s & txb_001.text
        s = s & txb_002.text
        MsgBox(s)

However, I'd like to be able to loop through all textboxes on the web page without having to hardcode the name of each textbox.

I've managed to loop throught the controls on the web page, e.g.

 Dim s As String
        Dim c As Control
        s = ""
        For Each c In Page.Form.Controls
            s = s & c.ID
        Next
        MsgBox(s)

The problem is that there does not seem to be a text property for a generic control object, e.g. there is no

c.text

Ultimately I'd like to be able to loop through other controls such as drop down lists and list boxes.

This is so easy for me to do when I work with VBA for Excel, and yet I feel so helpless. Does anyone have some advice?
