Question

I’ve got a web page where I am dynamically creating controls during Page_Load event (this is done so because I do not know how many controls I will need until session is active and certain variables are accessible)

I need to be able to loop through these controls to find Checkbox when a button click is processed. Looping through the Form.Controls does not appear to be sufficient. I would think that Request.Form might work but it does not appear to be accessible in my C# block?

What should code for Request.Form look like? OR

Has anyone done this before with dynamically created controls?

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks for the insight guys. I kind of took the discussion and ran with it and found my solution that worked best for me.

foreach(String chk in Request.Form) 
{
    if (chk.Contains("chkRemove")) 
    {
        int idxFormat = chk.LastIndexOf("chkRemove"); 
        objectname = chk.Substring(idxFormat);
    }
}

Turned out really all I needed was the name. The string contained a number at the end which was needed to determine a position of datatable items. Thanks for the advice!
