foreach (Control c in control.Controls) is choking on the "in" 1

foreach (Control c in control.Controls) is choking on the "in"

I have been trying to get c# code behind for an asp.net web app to simply clear text boxes and people have given me good snippits like:

protected void ClearTextBoxes(Control control)
{
foreach (Control c in control.Controls)
{
if (c is TextBox)
((TextBox)c).Text = "";
if (c is CheckBox)
((CheckBox)c).Checked = false;
}
}



...but in all of them, this and similair snippets like ...
public void ClearTextBoxes(WebControl Parent)
{
foreach (WebControl child in Parent.Controls)
{
if (typeof(child) is TextBox)
{
((TextBox)child).Text = String.Empty;
}
else if (typeof(child) is IContainer)
{
ClearTextBoxes(child);
}
}
}


...my debugger hits the key word "in" and steps over the code in the foreach. AnyOne know why?

That would usually mean that the Controls collection of the top level Control c object is null or empty. In the debugger, (use the immediate window if you need to), verify the Control being passed to the method and verify the Controls collection of this control.
