Answer 1

private void CleanForm(Control ctrl)
{
    foreach (var c in ctrl.Controls)
    {
        if (c is TextBox)
        {
            ((TextBox)c).Text = String.Empty;
        }

        if( c.Controls.Count > 0)
        {
           CleanForm(c);
        }
    }
}

When you initially call ClearForm, pass in this, or Page (I assume that is what 'this' is).

Answer 2

Your textboxes are probably inside of panels or other containers, and not directly inside the form.

You need to recursively traverse the Controls collection of every child control.

Answer 3

And this for clearing all controls in form like textbox, checkbox, radioButton

you can add different types you want..

private void ClearTextBoxes(Control control)
    {
        foreach (Control c in control.Controls)
        {
            if (c is TextBox)
            {
                ((TextBox)c).Clear();
            }

            if (c.HasChildren)
            {
                ClearTextBoxes(c);
            }


            if (c is CheckBox)
            {

                ((CheckBox)c).Checked = false;
            }

            if (c is RadioButton)
            {
                ((RadioButton)c).Checked = false;
            }
        }
    }
