C#: Get Parent Control with Generics
I use the following method to return a parent control of a specific type. This method is recursive and uses generics.
<br />
private Control GetParentControl<T1>(Control control)<br />
{<br />
if (control.Parent.GetType() == typeof(T1))<br />
{<br />
return control.Parent;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
return GetParentControl<T1>(control.Parent);<br />
}<br />
}</p>
