This is a snippet I use to clear a form. Right now it clears: TextBox, RichTextBox, ComboBox, CheckBox and RadioButton. More can be added if needed...

Geekitygeek commented: well written snippet..may use this myself :p +1
public static void ClearForm(System.Windows.Forms.Control parent)
{
foreach (System.Windows.Forms.Control ctrControl in parent.Controls)
{
//Loop through all controls
if (object.ReferenceEquals(ctrControl.GetType(), typeof(System.Windows.Forms.TextBox)))
{
//Check to see if it's a textbox
((System.Windows.Forms.TextBox)ctrControl).Text = string.Empty;
//If it is then set the text to String.Empty (empty textbox)
}
else if (object.ReferenceEquals(ctrControl.GetType(), typeof(System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox)))
{
//If its a RichTextBox clear the text
((System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox)ctrControl).Text = string.Empty;
}
else if (object.ReferenceEquals(ctrControl.GetType(), typeof(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox)))
{
//Next check if it's a dropdown list
((System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox)ctrControl).SelectedIndex = -1;
//If it is then set its SelectedIndex to 0
}
else if (object.ReferenceEquals(ctrControl.GetType(), typeof(System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox)))
{
//Next uncheck all checkboxes
((System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox)ctrControl).Checked = false;
}
else if (object.ReferenceEquals(ctrControl.GetType(), typeof(System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton)))
{
//Unselect all RadioButtons
((System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton)ctrControl).Checked = false;
}
if (ctrControl.Controls.Count > 0)
{
//Call itself to get all other controls in other containers
ClearForm(ctrControl);
}
}
}
//Example call
ClearForm(this);
