I have a method that finds all the controls, iterates through them, determines if they are a textbox,drop down list, etc.. retrieves their ID name, and depending on the ID name it will set a boolean statement (thus I would know if that section of the form is complete, and will email to a certain group of people) unfortunetly this is done with too many if statements and was wondering if I could get some help making this more manageable ` protected void getEmailGroup() { Control[] allControls = FlattenHierachy(Page); foreach (Control control in allControls) { if (control.ID != null) {

                if (control is TextBox)
                {
                    TextBox txt = control as TextBox;
                    if (txt.Text != "")
                    {
                        if (control.ID.StartsWith("GenInfo_"))
                        {
                        GenInfo = true;
                        }
                        if (control.ID.StartsWith("EmpInfo_"))
                        {
                            EmpInfo = true;
                        }

                    }
                }
                if (control is DropDownList)
                {
                    DropDownList lb = control as DropDownList;
                    if (lb.SelectedIndex != -1)
                    {
                        if (control.ID.StartsWith("GenInfo_"))
                        {
                            GenInfo = true;
                        }
                         if (control.ID.StartsWith("EmpInfo_"))
                        {
                            EmpInfo = true;
                        }
                    }
                }
        }
    }
}`.
