Jack,

If control is created at design time then you can use for each control
but if it is created at run time then you need to enhance the textbox
class which has name property else you can use position of the textbox
to for the same.

I hope this helps you

The controls are placed at design time and just wanted to check which
textboxes are blank. so that names of the textboxex can be taken in a
textboxes and then displayed in a messagebox
Thanks for the replay bhavesh

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)
{
if (c is TextBox)
{
MessageBox.Show(c.Name);
}
}

If you want the text boxes to have "real names" (with spaces),
consider storing those names in the Tag property of each text box.

That's not true. You can use a foreach statement to iterate over all
the text boxes that are currently on a form, whether or not they were
created at design time.

That would lead to a nasty, unmaintainable project where nobody dared
to resize any controls.

i think choosing multipile RequiredFieldValidator's and ValidationSummary
would be more suitable.
