    Is there a way to reset all web UI controls through C#? I have a code-behind C# app and I just want a way to clear all the text boxes on the page. Problem is that the page is dynamic so I won't know how many text boxes there are to clear. I was going to build my own collection and walk through that but I got to thinking that there's probably a very simple page.reset or something that I could use.

    I basically just want to re-initialize the aspx page and send it back to it's original form.

    So I was able to acheive what I wanted in this case by just redirecting to the same page. Doing so seems to dump all the form info.

    <center>Response.Redirect(this.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);</font id="Courier New"></center>

    Kind of a cheesy way to do it but it works.

    that will definitely do it but you'll lose all other page view stuff

    The Page object gives you access to the Controls collection. Once you have a reference, you can loop through all controls on the page. It doesn't matter that the controls where placed dynamically.

    Hope this helps
