Trying To Mimic Access Filter in Web Form

[jfrost10]

hey guys,

I'm trying to write the mother of all web-search functions that will allow a user to enter text into any controls on a form, click a search button, and return the closest match by populating all the other fields (like how you can do filters in access).

Any idea on how I can access the page's asp.net control collection, or any other thoughts on how I can pull this off?

I already have a function that will loop through the page.control collection once a button is clicked. Problem is, it seems to only see the html controls, not the asp ones.

Anyways, any thoughts are appreciated.

thanks,

Jack
