Hello All,

I have few forms having 1 splitcontainer. And Inside the panels of split container I have dropped 2 datagridview.

In runtime I want to get the name of the datagridviews...

I have used a for loop through the controls of a form.......It is showing only the splitcontainer...

I cannot get the controls by name... In runtime only i will get the name of the Datagridviews...

I cannot get the controls by recursive, if I am going to find a control recursively I must know the name of the control... however I will come to know the name of the control after the search only...

How to do this??

How can i get the all child controls inside a parent control...

Thanks in advance...
Mydeen.

Try the following...

C#

private void FindControl(Control ctrl, string name)
    {
      if (ctrl.Name.Equals(name))
      {
        MessageBox.Show(ctrl.Name);
        return;
      }
      foreach (Control ctr in ctrl.Controls)
      {
        FindControl(ctr, name);
      }
    }

Regards,
