Solution to the FindControl problem

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I have seen may posts about having problems with the FindControl method. Most seem to come about because the control being searched for is nested within a container other than the webform.I came across this code (sorry dont remember the web site) that I have posted in response to many of the posts related to this type of problem. I thought it would be easier if I post this code here for others to find.///

/// Finds a Control recursively. Note finds the first match that exists ///

/// Should be the lowest container in the heirarchy, for eg dont choose Master page if you can pick the specific panel /// ID of the control you are looking for /// the control if found else null private static Control FindControlRecursive(Control Root, string Id) {if (Root.ID == Id) return Root; foreach (Control Ctl in Root.Controls) {Control FoundCtl = FindControlRecursive(Ctl, Id); if (FoundCtl != null) return FoundCtl; }return null; }
