Do you specifically want it on server side?

You can Create a method to reset the Form but why only for textbox. I would suggest to create a method to reset dropdown, Checkbox, RadioButton and List
see this

C#

public static void ResetFormControlValues(Control parentControlId)
      {
          foreach (Control c in parentControlId.Controls)
          {
              if (c.Controls.Count <= 0)
              {
                  switch (c.GetType().ToString())
                  {
                      case "System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox":
                          ((TextBox)c).Text = string.Empty;
                          break;
                      case "System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox":
                          ((CheckBox)c).Checked = false;
                          break;
                      case "System.Web.UI.WebControls.RadioButton":
                          ((RadioButton)c).Checked = false;
                          break;
                      case "System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList":
                          ((DropDownList)c).SelectedIndex = 0;
                          break;
                      case "System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox":
                          foreach (ListItem item in ((ListBox)c).Items)
                          {
                              item.Selected = false;
                          }

                          break;
                  }
              }
              else
              {
                  ResetFormControlValues(c);
              }
          }
      }

Find all textboxes from a given panel and Make them to Null or Blank
See the following code

foreach (Control ctrl in PanelofAllTextBox.Controls)
       {
           if (ctrl.GetType().Name.ToString() == "TextBox")
           {
               TextBox txt = (TextBox)ctrl;
               txt.Text = "";
           }
       }

Hi Try this code..

Get the parent Container like Div or Panel or any.. and iterate from that.

Example:

XML

<div id="divContainer" runat="server">
       <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
       <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
       '
       '
       '
       <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox20" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>


   </div>

Code Behind:

C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (var item in divContainer.Controls)
            {
                if (item is TextBox)
                {
                    (item as TextBox).Text = "";
                }
            }
        }

If you want to do it in JQuery :

XML

<script type="text/javascript">

       var ClearAllTextBoxes = function () {

           $('input[type=text]').val('');

       }

   </script>

if u want to reset then you can reload page like on click on a button u can redirect page like this

C#

Response.Redirect("register.aspx");

<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server" class="clear" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

Just put a class on all of your textboxes, then use Jquery Selector to clear all of them...

See:-

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

$(function(){
$('.clear').val('');
});

Put this on your aspx page.

Hope, your problem will be solved..
