Form Controls

[deepscyberpulse]

Which class does the FindControl method belong to. I need to be able to return which controls lie on a form. E.g. if there is a textbox on the form i should be able to return a messagebox which says that the textbox(textbox_name) exists on the form. Any suggestions please

There is a Controls collection that you can iterate through. As it does not have a find method, I doubt there's another class offering this facility, but you can iterate through and search yourself. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

There is a FindControl method referred to by you in the System.Web.UI.Control class. However, apparently there is no such method in the System.Windows.Forms.Control class from which the Form class is derived. But, as suggested by Christian Grauss, you can use the Controls property of the Form class alongwith the ControlCollection class member methods to iterate through the controls on a form.
