This code doesn't help at the point where I am standing right now!

I am using Reflection so I don't have "this". It is exactly what I have trouble with (getting a reference to a webform).


>Here is the code I use to dump to the debug window - it is in C# but it is easily translated:

>private void DumpControls(Control c, int depth)
>{
>if (c.ID != null)
>{
>for (int a = 1; a < depth; a++)
>{
>Debug.Write("");
>}
>Debug.WriteLine(c.ID, c.ToString());
>}
>foreach (Control subControl in c.Controls)
>{
>DumpControls(subControl, depth + 1);
>}

>I call it from the page load like so: DumpControls(this.Page, 0);
