how to get control by its String name

alyeng2000 · December 21st, 2003, 07:05 PM

i need to deal with some controls by their name as string like:
instead of calling like textbox1.text i can call it as
controls("textbox1").text ???

Usually you would use:

parentControl.FindControl("myControlStringName")

i also modify it like follows to deal more free with the control like

Ctype(parentControl.FindControl("myControlStringNa me"),textbox)
