convert void to string in c#

The code below. I would like to convert to public string GetTextBoxValue1(Control parent)
and the return value will be finalstr

Can you show me how to change it?

 public void GetTextBoxValue1(Control parent)
    {
        string str = string.Empty;
        string str1 = string.Empty;
        string  finalstr = string.Empty;
        foreach (Control x in parent.Controls)
        {
            if ((x.GetType() == typeof(TextBox)))
            {
                TextBox t = ((TextBox)(x));
                //Response.Write(t.ID + " " + t.Text + "<br>");
                finalstr=finalstr + "&" + t.ID + "=" + t.Text;
                str = str + ("&" + t.ID + "=" + t.Text);
            }
            if (x.HasControls())
            {
                //Response.Write("NONE");
                  GetTextBoxValue1(x);
            }
        }
        
    }

Have a look at this:

public string GetTextBoxValue1(Control parent)
    {
        string str = string.Empty;
        string str1 = string.Empty;
        string  finalstr = string.Empty;
        foreach (Control x in parent.Controls)
        {
            if ((x.GetType() == typeof(TextBox)))
            {
                TextBox t = ((TextBox)(x));
                //Response.Write(t.ID + " " + t.Text + "<br>");
                finalstr=finalstr + "&" + t.ID + "=" + t.Text;
                str = str + ("&" + t.ID + "=" + t.Text);
            }
            if (x.HasControls())
            {
                //Response.Write("NONE");
                  GetTextBoxValue1(x);
            }

        }

        return finalstr;       
    }

A string is not the appropriate return type for this functions

I would create a list of objects that have ID and Text attributes and add to it in each iteration
