I was wondering if you or anyone else would have an idea about this dilemma, which is continuation to another question...

[[SNIP]]

Another option I tried is use Enabled instead of ReadOnly. The problem with this (as far as I can tell) is that with Web apps Enabled makes it difficult if not impossible to iterate through the controls that are currently disabled, because they do not show up in the Request.Form.AllKeys -array, which I use to do the looping. If there is another way to loop through all controls on a web form regardless of their Enabled -status, I would be quite happy to use that with Enabled on/off (I tried to figure it out but could not make it happen for some reason...). I guess this would also avoid the whole issue on what is readonly and what is not.

[[/SNIP]]

So, the question is, why would I not be able to iterate through web form controls like this? Someone suggested another approach (in VB.NET), but it didn't work either, because they were using Item(1) ... Item(2) form objects, which don't seem to be present in my MM.NET based web form.

Thanks.
