Print list of conrols on page in Visual Studio 1

[theoryofben]

Hello

I have a page with lots of controls on it. I need to generate a list of them and print it. I can't seem to find the option...I know I must be overlooking something simple. I'm using Visual Studio Professional 2005.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you need to recurse through each control starting at the page.

public class Utility
{
public IEnumerable<string> GetEverySingleControlId(Control control)
{
   var ids = new List<string>();
   ids.Add(control.ID);
   foreach(var child in contorlControls)
   {
        ids.AddRange(GetEverySingleControlId(child));
   }
   return ids;
}
}

usage

class MyPage : Page
{
public void MyPage_Load(object sender, eventArgs e)
{
   var ids = new Utilty().GetEverySingleControlId(this);
   foreach(var id in ids)
   {
      //do something with id.
   }
}
}

Thanks...I guess I'll have to do it in code. I thought Visual Studio had a Utility/report that would list them all out. I think 2003 had it...but I guess not 2005.

Thanks for the help.
