I have multiple dropdownlist in a page and would like to disable all if user selects a checkbox which reads disable all. So far I have this code and it is not working. Any suggestions?

foreach (Control c in this.Page.Controls)
{
    if (c is DropDownList)
        ((DropDownList)(c)).Enabled = false;
}
