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 );
    }
}
