Clear asp.net form at runtime

Whats the easiest way to clear an asp.net form at runtime using c#.

Thanks Sp

From stackoverflow

• I assume you want to clear input boxes, dropdowns etc. This can be done the following way in code to recursivly clear all data.

  foreach( var control in this.Controls )
  {
     ClearControl( control );
  }
  

  and the recursive function

  private void ClearControl( Control control )
  {
      var textbox = control as TextBox;
      if (textbox != null)
          textbox.Text = string.Empty;
  
      var dropDownList = control as DropDownList;
      if (dropDownList != null)
          dropDownList.SelectedIndex = 0;
  
      // handle any other control //
  
      foreach( Control childControl in control.Controls )
      {
          ClearControl( childControl );
      }
  }
  

  Steven : Thanks for this, i was unable to get it working as im using HTML controls, I switched the textbox to htmlinputtext but still failed. I have used some js to clear the form Thanks for your post Sp

• I have used the following JS/c# to clear the form.

  c# to add the js call onload

    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(WebForm3), "ClearPage", "ClearForm();", true);
  

  the JS to clear the form

  function ClearForm() {
              var AllControls = document.getElementById('ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PnlAll')
              var Inputs = AllControls.getElementsByTagName('input');
              for (var y = 0; y < Inputs.length; y++) {
                  // define element type
                  type = Inputs[y].type
                  // alert before erasing form element
                  //alert('form='+x+' element='+y+' type='+type);
                  // switch on element type
                  switch (type) {
                      case "text":
                      case "textarea":
                      case "password":
                          //case "hidden":
                          Inputs[y].value = "";
                          break;
  
  
  
                  }
              }
  
  
          }
