Changing value of all TextBoxes

[Gavin_Mannion]

Hi All, Simple question here (I Hope) I need to reset all my textboxes back to blank and am trying to do it in a nice clean loop. I have the following but it does not work

foreach (TextBox t in this)
{
t.Text = "";
}

I am getting the error message

C:\Documents and Settings\gavin\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\LTBRMaintenance\EditClinic.cs(487): foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'LTBRMaintenance.EditClinic' because 'LTBRMaintenance.EditClinic' does not contain a definition for 'GetEnumerator', or it is inaccessible

I have a feeling I am nearly there but am missing something obvious.. Thanks

I think that this is just an object and doesn't natively expose a GetEnumerator method. Try this: foreach(Control c in this.Controls) { if(c.GetType().ToString()=="System.Windows.Forms.TextBox") c.Text="new vlaue"; } Cheers, Simon X-5 452 rules.

That is exactly it. :) Thanks :)
