If the names of the textboxes are unrelated then I'd try this code: protected void Button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { Button b = (Button)sender; string filePath = whatever.xml; // put full path here for file to be saved XElement textboxes = new XElement(textboxes); // root element foreach (Control c in b.Parent.Controls) { if (c is TextBox) { TextBox tb = c as TextBox; XElement textbox = new XElement(textbox new XAttribute(id tb.ID)); textbox.Value = tb.Text; textboxes.Add(textbox); } } textboxes.Save(filePath); }

I'm sure I answered a question like this yesterday but I can't now find the thread :-/ Anyway luckily I still have the code: // add this to your using directives using System.Xml.Linq; // code for button click handler protected void Button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { Button b = (Button)sender; string filePath = whatever.xml; // put full path here for file to be saved XElement textboxes = new XElement(TextBoxes); // root element for (int i = 1; i { string name = TextBox + i; TextBox tb = b.Parent.FindControl(name) as TextBox; if (tb != null) { XElement textbox = new XElement(name new XAttribute(id tb.ID)); textbox.Value = tb.Text; textboxes.Add(textbox); } } textboxes.Save(filePath); }
