Microsoft’s prescribed support website is http://support.microsoft.com/. It has all kinds of resources like product FAQs, downloads, searchable KB articles, newsgroup pointers, and ways to hit people to help with your single needs or feedback.

Alas, I can’t consecrate attention to single customer issues. That’s because I work in product design and development, not customer support. Someone has to be revolved about that, or else we’d ne’er embark anything! Then, I’m moving to have to entrust your questions and comments to MS’s prescribed channels which specialize in that. Please preserve comments you put up hither worldwide and about the loader or performance.

With a simple extension method to ControlCollection to flatten the control tree you can use LINQ to query the control tree:

public static class PageExtensions

{

 public static IEnumerable<Control> All(this ControlCollection controls)

 {

 foreach (Control control in controls)

 {

 foreach (Control grandChild in control.Controls.All())

 yield return grandChild;

 yield return control;

 }

 }

}

Now I can do things like this:

// get the first empty textbox

TextBox firstEmpty = accountDetails.Controls

.All()

.OfType<TextBox>()

.Where(tb => tb.Text.Trim().Length == 0)

.FirstOrDefault();

// and focus it

if (firstEmpty != null)

 firstEmpty.Focus();

Pretty cool! I can do all sorts of querying of the control tree now. LINQ you are my h
