Solution 1

You can use a foreach loop to iterate all the child controls.

Thank you for reply.

I had get all controls of form by using following code..

public static List<control> GetControls(Control form)
{
var controlList = new List<control>();

foreach (Control childControl in form.Controls)
{
//Recurse child controls.
controlList.AddRange(GetControls(childControl));
controlList.Add(childControl);
}
return controlList;
}
List<control> availControls = GetControls(this);

But I cant understand how to get the values of them
like if control is textbox then textbox.text, if control is checkbox then true or false like these.
I am newer in C# if u know then please help me..

You need to check the type of control (as described here), cast it to the relevant type and then obtain its value. Maybe if you explained exactly why you need to do this someone could offer some more useful assistance.

Hi friend,
i simply making one user control named as toolbar.dll. the toolbar contain the add, save, update, delete and search button. to save the data of the form i want to use save button globally. for that firstly i had done the table mapping.

But i cant understand how to get the values of all control of active form and concate it. The concatenation string pass in save query.
If u know then please help me.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by concatenate the values. I have shown you how to iterate the controls, and you can then query the name of each control and its status, but what you do with that information is not clear.

Solution 2

You can use a foreach loop if all child controls in single container but if you are using multiple containers then you have to also look inside these controls.

Let you want to grab textbox
foreach (Control childControl in form.Controls)
{
string strvalue ="";
if(childControl ==typeof(TextBox))
{
value +=((TextBox)childControl).Text;
}

}
