Hi,

I want to loop through the web controls on a web form and depending on
whether it is a textbox, checkbox etc perform an action.

I first tried a case statement:

Dim Cols As String() = {"vorName", "nachName", "sacked", "employeeID"}

Dim I As Integer

For I = 0 To 1

Select case E.Item.FindControl("edit_" & Cols(I)).getType()

Case System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox

' perform action

I found out that case statements only support the basic datatypes. Does
anyone know of a good way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Use the TypeOf keyword with the control instance name as in:

If TypeOf <ctl> Is CheckBox Then
' Action for checkbox
Else If TypeOf <ctl> Is TextBox Then
' Action for text box
End If

Rufus,

For a webform it is a little bit else than documented when the controls are
not on a panel.

\\\
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim frm As Control = Me.FindControl("Form1")
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In frm.Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
DirectCast(ctl, TextBox) = "" 'or whatever
End If
Next
///

I hope this helps
