Find component in ASP.NET form at run-time

[Sean Winstead]

At design-time, it's possible to use
WebControl.Site.Container.Components to find a component (i.e., not a
WebControl). At run-time, WebControl.Site always appears to be null.
Is there a way to get access to the same information at run-time, so
that I can find a component on the form? Or is there a way to make
sure WebControl.Site is available?

Did you try:

this.Page.FindControl( "TheIdOfTheControl")?

Yes, it will only find components that inherit from Web.UI.Control and
so does not see plain ol' components.
