Run you table as a server control then do this:

For Each ctrl as control in Table.Controls
   If TypeOf ctrl Is DropDownList then
    //Do something
   End if
Next

-------------------------
I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

^^Thats my signature

foreach (Control c in Table2.Controls)
            {
                Type t = c.GetType();
                Response.Write( t.Name+" ");
            }
this is my code and it gives
HtmlTableRow HtmlTableRow HtmlTableRow
but i need those server controls which i embded inside the table pls reply

is it possible!
because table is htmlcontrols & on the other hand textbox etc are WebControls??

actually i want ids of each server controls inside a table is it possible??

i dont see why its not possible, i do this all the time with tables and panels and never have a problem returning my webcontrols?

I have given my codes also made table2 runat=server

it's not working anyway thanks

Make your loop recursive;

private void tableControls(){
 //This is your main loop
 foreach(Control c in Table.Controls){
  checkControls(c);
 }
}

private void checkControls(Control crl){
//This method can be recursive
if ((crl.GetType() == DropDownList)) {
//do something
}
else if ((crl.Controls.Count > 0)) {
    foreach (Control c in crl.Controls) {
        checkControls(c);
    }
}
}
