Best method to make all panels not visible 1

[James1981]

Hi I'm trying to set the visible property on all panels on my page.

Is this possible using a foreach loop?

I have tried using the following but it doesn't work:

foreach (Panel p in Page.Controls)
{
  do something
}

Does anyone know where I am going wrong?

Cheers, JAmes

What happens when you loop through each control on the page, and check for the Panel type?

Your function may have to be recursive to access child controls.

foreach (Control c in parent.Controls)
{
if (c.GetType().ToString().Equals("System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel&quot)
{
// set to invisible }

if (c.Controls.Count > 0)
{
IterateThroughChildren(c);
}
}
hope this helps

sorry I pasted in the wrong bit - this url has the recursive function on it
