C# Find Text Boxes Grab Data

[karenRoss]

Hi!

Okay, here's the issue:

I have a nested repeater with this:
<td width="125px">< input type="text" name="M<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "combos_id" ) %>" size="10" maxlength="10"> </td>
<td width="350px">< input type="text" name="C<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "combos_id" ) %>" size="50" maxlength="100" ></td>

I need to search the page, find all the text boxes and get their values. However, I don't know anything about the ID other than it starts with a C or an M. I can't get a count from my initial data, so I query again to get the number of text boxes possible.

Even with a loop I cannot seem to actually "find" the objects. Any thoughts on any way to do this at all? foreach?

Hi karen,
what you have to do is get a list of all controls by this.controls, and check if they are a input type (if you can use asp .net controls it would be easier i suppose)

HI KAREN,
to get all the controls within a form, u can use

Controls oFormControls=t his.Controls;
it returns all the controls on the form. but it better if u put all the textbox in groupbox or panel. then it'll iterate throw few controls.

//this code iterate throw all controls on the form
foreach (Control ctl in this.Controls)
{
if(ctl.GetType( ).Name== "TextBox")
{
if(ctl.Name="tx tName")
string sName=ctl.Text;
}
}

//this code iterate throw all controls on the grpTextBox of the form

foreach (Control ctl in this.grpTextBox .Controls)
{
if(ctl.GetType( ).Name== "TextBox")
{
if(ctl.Name="tx tName")
string sName=ctl.Text;
//do something
}
}


i think it resolve ur problem. if not or u want to know more about it, mail me to
