Please find the below code. This should help you with all the controls you need. You should be able to use Web Page Controls, as well as ASP.NET Controls.

public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{

List lstControl = new List();

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private List getLabels() // Add all Lables to a list
{
    List lLabels = new List();

    foreach (Control oControl in Page.Controls)
    {
        GetAllControlsInWebPage(oControl);
    }

    foreach (Control oControl in lstControl)
    {
        if (oControl.GetType() == typeof(Label))
        {
            lLabels.Add((Label)oControl);
        }
    }
    return lLabels;
}

protected void GetAllControlsInWebPage(Control oControl)
{
    foreach (Control childControl in oControl.Controls)
    {
        lstControl.Add(childControl); //lstControl - Global variable
        if (childControl.HasControls())
            GetAllControlsInWebPage(childControl);
    }
}

}
