pass page to a class and loop through the controls

[lunchbox88]

C#

My goal is to validate the text entered in to textboxes to make sure there aren't any illegal characters before it gets written to the database.

My thought is to pass a page (and all it's controls) to a class, loop through the controls on that page to identify all the textboxes,validate the text within those textboxes, and then return a boolean to the page.

Is what I'm thinking even possible? Is there a better way to handle?

Yes, it's possible but you will have to create a recursive function as each textbox's parent may not actually be the page.

This is a pretty silly question, but how do I pass the page to the function?
