Clear controls of a page

[lunargirrl]

How can I clear the controls of a page (labels, textboxes, etc..) when the back and forward buttons of the browser are pressed??

Thanks a lot,
Gis.

This should work, assuming that you're trying to clear the control's contents (you might have to change it up a bit - it's hand-coded):

foreach(System.Web.UI.Control c in this.Page.Controls)
{
    if(c.GetType() == typeof(Label))
	((Label)c).Text	= String.Empty;
    if(c.GetType() == typeof(TextBox))
	((TextBox)c).Text = String.Empty;
    if(c.GetType() == typeof(DropDownList))
	((DropDownList)c).Items.Clear();
}

You'll also have to add in handlers for any other control types that you want to clear on your page.

Hope that helps

You'd probably want to place that on your back and forward button click events.
