Clear all fields in ASP.net form

Question

Is there an easy way to reset all the fields in a form?

I have around 100 controls in my asp.net form and there are submit and reset buttons.

How do I make all values in the fields null when user hits reset button?

I have a lot of dropdown boxes, textboxes, checkboxes.

Answer 1

Add this to the server-side handler of the cancel button:

Response.Redirect("~/mypage.aspx", false); 

Answer 2

Loop through all of the controls on the page, and if the control is type TextBox, set the Text property to String.Empty

protected void ClearTextBoxes(Control p1) {     foreach (Control ctrl in p1.Controls)     {         if(ctrl is TextBox)         {              TextBox t = ctrl as TextBox;               if(t != null)              {                   t.Text = String.Empty;              }         }         else        {            if (ctrl.Controls.Count > 0)            {                ClearTextBoxes(ctrl);            }         }     } } 

Then to call it in your click event like this:

 ClearTextBoxes(Page);
