try like this private void Form1_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { var controls = this.Controls; foreach (var control in controls) { if (control.GetType().ToString() == System.Windows.Forms.TextBox) { TextBox textBox = (TextBox) control; textBox.Width = 300; textBox.Height = 20; } } } Regards Iftikar

If I were you Nandhini I'd either: 1. Change the sizes of the textboxes in the designer; or 2. Delete all the textboxes from the designer and create them all dynamically in the Form_Load handler. An advantage of #2 is that you can put them all in an array as they are created which should make them easier to handle subsequently. It's also easy to add the same eventhandlers to them all. Creating them with odd sizes in the designer but then changing the size programatically is likely to end up with a muddle as it's unlikely that they'll then be aligned properly.

try like this Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object e As EventArgs) Dim controls = Me.Controls For Each control As var In controls If control.[GetType]().ToString() = System.Windows.Forms.TextBox Then Dim textBox As TextBox = DirectCast(control TextBox) textBox.Width = 300 textBox.Height = 20 End If Next End Sub Regards Iftikar

Hello Nandhini You should use CSS for this. Create a CCS File or in the head section of your application write this code under the tag:- Input[type=submit] { height=15px; width=45px; } Now whenever you will use a new Textbox then this style will be automattically applied to that textbox and you doesn't need to provide any type of class name or change the width height again and again. Accept the ans if it helps you.
