I'm not for sure how the ControlCollection of ASP.Net works, so maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.
I recently discovered the magic that is extension methods and Linq. Well, I was very sad to find that this isn't valid syntax
var c=Controls.Where(x => x.ID=="Some ID").SingleOrDefault();
However from what I can tell, Controls does implement the IEnumerable interface which provides such methods, so what gives? Why doesn't that just work? I have found a decent work around for this issue at least:
var list = (IEnumerable<Control>)Controls;
var this_item = list.Where(x => x.ID == "Some ID").SingleOrDefault();
