Make TextBoxes ReadOnly using Loop 1

[RichS]

Is there a way in C#/ASP.NET to make all text boxes on a page ReadOnly? I have in mind to do like the following but the ReadOnly property doesn't seem to be available.

private void CCEReadOnly(Control ctlParent)
{
  foreach (Control ctlChild in ctlParent.Controls)
  {
    if (ctlChild.GetType().ToString().Equals("System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox"))
    {
      // ReadOnly property not available??
      //ctlChild.ReadOnly = true;
    }
        
    // Check for more children
    if (ctlChild.Controls.Count > 0)
    {          
      CCEReadOnly(ctlChild);          
    }
  }
}

You probably need to cast it to System.Web.UI.WebControls.Textbox before attempting to set the readonly property.
