Confirm form control type

[jason]

Is there a way to determine the form control type in asp...in other words,
to confirm that a control is a eg checkbox when looping the form controls?

No, I do not believe so.

Not without some kind of naming convention. I usually use a"txt" preface on
my textbox names, etc.

Thats a good idea - prefacing the name with the control type - will do it
this way. I suspect that .NET will take care of this shortfall...

Got it - I'll do it this way - Aaron also suggested this. I am guessing
that .NET would probably overcome this limitation...

Re: Confirm form control type

It doesn't matter if you're using .net or not. The browser will still post
the same data. That's not to say that it won't trick developers into
thinking it's handling it though. :]
