Improved it a bit

private Control FindControlRecursive(string id)
{
Page page = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
return FindControlRecursive(page, id);
}

private Control FindControlRecursive(Control root, string id)
{
if (root.ID == id)
{
return root;
}

foreach (Control c in root.Controls)
{
Control t = FindControlRecursive(c, id);
if (t != null)
{
return t;
}
}

return null;
}

Call it like this

Literal debug = (Literal)FindControlRecursive(“debug”);
debug.Text = “asdasd”;

Nice, thanks again

I regularly got a lot of problem to correctly findcontrol for a lot of situation of control inside another control, and so on…

for now it is so easy with the function you write above

thanks a lot again

My code is as follows:

string ctrlStr = String.Empty;
Control c = null;
foreach (string ctl in HttpContext.Current.Request.Form)
{
// handle ImageButton controls …
if (ctl.EndsWith(“.x”) || ctl.EndsWith(“.y”))
{
ctrlStr = ctl.Substring(0, ctl.Length – 2).Replace(“$”, “_”);
//c = page.FindControl(ctrlStr);
c = page.NamingContainer.FindControl(ctrlStr);
}
