Maybe it could be useful for someone:

public void GetControlsCollection(Control root,ref List AllControls,  Func filter)
{
    foreach (Control child in root.Controls)
    {
        var childFiltered = filter(child);
        if (childFiltered != null) AllControls.Add(child);
        if (child.HasControls()) GetControlsCollection(child, ref AllControls, filter);
    }
}

This is recursive function to get the collection of controls with the possibility of appling filter (for expample by type). And the example:

 List resultControlList = new List();
 GetControlsCollection(rootControl, ref resultControlList, new Func(ctr => (ctr is DropDownList)? ctr:null ));

It will return all DropDownLists in rootControl and his all children
