WebForm read

[italo]

Hi,

Is there a way to read witch WebControl (like TextBox's) and howmany
webcontrols are in a WebForm?

Well yes. Typically you can reference a control by it's ID, so if you
have a textbox webcontrol on the page that's id is txtFirstBox, you can
reference that control by that name. For instance you can access the
text property of the text box by txtFirstBox.Text.

Another way you can access a control on the page is through the find
command. You can do this like so - Page.FindControl("controlname").

This is how you can find controls that are in the page collection
(finding controls contained in other web controls can be found in a
similar manner).

You can access how many web controls are on the page through
Page.Controls.Count.

Hope this helps,
Darren Kopp

Thats it
we found a way to do it. with FindControl and Controls.
its in C#, im counting the number of TextBox's and cleaning them.
i think its okai.

Control frm = new Control();
frm = Page.FindControl("Form1");
int i = 0;
foreach (Control clt in frm.Controls)
{
i += 1;
TextBox tb = new TextBox();
if (clt is TextBox)
{
tb = (TextBox)clt;
tb.Text = "";
}
}

thank you for your help one more time

King Regards.
