Looping thru controls - part 2!

i have the routine setup as below. the ctlCollection is populated with Page.Controls. but it only ever brings back 3 controls even though there is more than this on the page

the control types it returns are

1 x "System.Web.UI.ResourceBasedLiteralControl"
1 x "System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm"
1 x "System.Web.UI.LiteralControl"

where am i going wrong?

Cheers,
Craig

Private Sub SetBackgroundColour(ByVal ctlCollection As ControlCollection)

Dim ctl As Control

Try

For Each ctl In ctlCollection

If ctl.GetType.ToString = "Textbox" Then

If CType(ctl, TextBox).Enabled = False Then

CType(ctl, TextBox).BackColor = Color.Transparent

Else

CType(ctl, TextBox).BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow

End If

End If

If ctl.GetType.ToString = "DropDownList" Then

If CType(ctl, DropDownList).Enabled = False Then

CType(ctl, DropDownList).BackColor = Color.Transparent

Else

CType(ctl, DropDownList).BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow

End If

End If

Next

end subWhere are you invoking SetBackgroundColour method? And what is the
value of the paramter that you are passing?

Page.Controls?

i have a SetMode Method which runs on the page load. For an Add, Edit or
ViewMode

within SetMode i call EnableFields, followed by SetBackGroundColour

and yes the parameter being passed in is Page.Controls

Cheers,
Craig

What version of ASP.Net are you using?

have been working with in IBuySpy.
