Looping Through Page Controls
A very common question on the ASP.NET forums, is how to loop through the page controls, and find dynamically my control!
Here is the solution, its R E C U R S I O N !!
A very simple example, that loops through the page controls, and once it finds a Panel, it prints out, I am a Panel
public void ShowPanels(Control p_Control)
{
try
{
// If control found is of type Panel
if (p_Control.GetType().FullName.Equals("System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel"))
{
Response.Write ("I am a Panel!");
}
// Looping through all controls
foreach (Control _control in p_Control.Controls)
{
ShowPanels(_control);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new ApplicationException(ex.ToString());
}
}
Hope this helps,
Regards
