Question

I wanted to know if there is a way to access to asp objects in the code behind, but without using the object in itself ?

Let say i have an asp Page in which i have this tag :

<asp:TextBox ID="test" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

In my code behind i can access to this object using : this.test. But i would like to access it in an other way. Something like :

 this.Objects["test"]

Because I’m parsing an xml document in which i have all my asp objects, and then i want to do some processing on it (set Visible to true … )

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks

Found the answer. I’m using SharePoint, so i have to set the context. I can’t do

this.FindControls

so i Added :

Control context = this.Page.Master.FindControl("PlaceHolderMain");

And i use :

context.FindControl();

Answer 1

You could use:

this.Controls["control"];
