Is it possible to use Type.GetType(...) with the types in the
System.Web.UI.? My attempts always resolve to Nothing.

Is this legal, or is the Web.UI assembly of the kind Type.GetType doesn't
work with?
Type.GetType("System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox", False, True)

Thanks

Why not GetType(System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)? Do you have to pass it
a string?

Mythran,
I'm trying to write a generic routine to find all controls of a specified
type. But even so, if I do what you suggest, I get the error that
Checkbox|TextBox|etc "is a type in 'WebControls' and cannot be used as an
expression".
Regards
TR
