A simple example how to use FindControl to search for controls and objects on the current form with asp.net c# and set the properties and values.
Used
Microsoft Visual studio 8 with .net 3.5
The Form
Create a form with:
1 x TextBox name the TextBox id "TextBox1"
1 x Button
The Code
In the button click procedure place the following code.
TextBox control = (TextBox)this.FindControl("TextBox1");
if (control != null)
{
control.Text = "found control!";
control.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkRed;
}
When the click procedure has found the TextBox the Text value will be changed and the BackColor will be set.
