Clearing textboxes in a web form

[AngieR]

Hello All

How can I clear the contents of let's say 15 textboxes based on a selection from a dropdown list.

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

If you still need the ViewState enabled, then you can clear the textboxes in the code behind inside the DropDownList SelectedIndexChanged event handler:

html:
<form id=&quot;Form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
  <asp:DropDownList id=DropDownList1 runat=server AutoPostBack=&quot;True&quot; />
....... textbox controls here....
</form>
code behind:
private void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  if(DropDownList1.SelectedValue == someValue)		
  {
    HtmlForm form = (HtmlForm)Page.FindControl(&quot;Form1&quot;);
    foreach(Control ctrl in form.Controls)
    {
      if(ctrl is TextBox)
      {
        ((TextBox)ctrl).Text = &quot;&quot;;
      }
    }
  }
}

I think in VB it should look like this:

if DropDownList1.SelectedValue = someValue then
  dim form as HtmlForm  = ctype(Page.FindControl("Form1"), HtmlForm)
  for each Control ctrl in form.Controls
    ' not sure about this line, if VB has the "is" keyword
    if ctrl is TextBox then
      dim txt as TextBox = CType(ctrl, TextBox)
      txt.Text = "";
    end if
  next
end if

If DropDownList1.SelectedValue = someValue Then
Dim form As HtmlForm = CType(Page.FindControl("Form1&quot, HtmlForm)
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In form.Controls
If ctrl.GetType Is "Whatever type shows up for textbox here" Then
Dim txt As TextBox = CType(ctrl, TextBox)
txt.Text = ""
End If
Next
End If

This is closer, but still not exact i believe
