So, if you would like to find control by its tag, you need to loop through te collection of controls. Have a look here: How to: Access Controls by using the Controls Collection[^]

i got unable to cast object when i tried the code as per above link.

here is a sample

foreach (HtmlInputText text in divcontaine.Controls)
{
if (text is HtmlInputText)

text.Style.Add("color", "red");
}

Error is : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.LiteralControl' to type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText'.
