using NameValueCollection how can I just get textbox contrl values?

Question

How do I collect the values of JUST the text box controls?

Is there a way to specify this in ASP.NET 4.0?

ArrayList alAnswerList = new ArrayList();

int iCount = 0;
NameValueCollection frmCollect = Request.Form;

iCount = frmCollect.Count;

for (int i = 0; i <= iCount; i++)
{
    alAnswerList.Add(frmCollect.GetValues(i));
}

I am trying to avoid hardcoding an exact index value to start getting values at.

Thanks!

Update: Control Code

Answer 1

Inside btnShowAnswers_Click, add the following code:

var answers = new List<string>();

if(dlHunt.Items.Count > 0)
{
    foreach(DataListItem item in dlHunt.Items)
    {
        var textBox = (TextBox)item.FindControl("huntAnswerText");
        answers.Add(textBox.Text);         
    }
}

// At this point you have your list of answers and can handle as you see fit

Answer 2

Try this:

// You might not be able access the controls directly here. 
//As it might be on a master page,or Simple Page or a 
//Content Page or an User Control. Either you have to use FindControl() 
//or NamingContainer
    foreach(Control c in Page.Controls) 
    {
       if(c is TextBox)
       {
          var val = ((TextBox)c).Text; // or any other properties of textbox
       }
    }
