In a Web form, I am looking for a way to obtain a reference to a HiddenField by the use of its parent, thus the form name. As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a way to accomplish that. The only way I have found is to use the control directly.

Here is an example:

<form id="Form1" method="Post" action="SaveMessage.aspx" runat="server">
<asp:HiddenField ID="Language" runat="server" />
</form>

Having that, the Page_Load() event can use this syntax to set the value of the hidden field:

Language.value="something"

But, what I need is this:

Form1.Language.value="something"

Why is this not possible?
