  • 0

I’m building a class that automatically loads a DB record, looks at each DB column name, and fills the associated textbox/label/literal/etc, if it has the same name. I got this idea from Rails, in case that helps clarify what I’m trying to do.

public string presentData(Page thisForm) { // .. for each column name // ... thisForm.FindControl() happens }

I can’t seem to find the Control I want this way, and there could quite possibly be a better way to do this.

Edit: If I can save on performance by doing it another way, definitely suggest it. I have large forms, and a recursive FindControl would cause a growth in performance time.

  1. FindControl is not recursive, so it only finds top level controls, not controls that are nested within other controls. See this article for an example of a recursive version of FindControl.
