Setting properties of aspx controls based in a generic List
asked on
I get a generic list of all controls in an aspx page. What I'm trying to do with each element of that list is to set a value for properties Visible and Enabled of those aspx controls.
I don't know how to get TYPE from each element of generic list.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim controlList As New List(Of Control)
controlList = AddControls(Page.Controls, controlList)
For Each ctl As Control In controlList
Response.Write(ctl.ID & "<br/>")
'Here I setup property Enabled of control textbox1
CType(Me.FindControl("textbox1"), TextBox).Enabled = True
'I'd like to setup property Enabled of control ctl.ID, but how to invoke <type of ctl>
CType(Me.FindControl(ctl.ID), <type of ctl> ).Enabled = True
Next
End Sub
Private Function AddControls(ByVal page As ControlCollection, ByVal controlList As List(Of Control)) As List(Of Control)
