Using reflection to find property of a control in asp.net 2.0

The following method is used to find control's Enabled property and set the value (true/false) using reflection. You can find any property of the control by specifying property name in GetProperty() method.


public static void SetEnabled(object control, bool flag)
{
try
{
if (control == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("control", "control is null");
Type itemType = control.GetType();
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo enabledProperty= itemType.GetProperty("Enabled",BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);

if (enabledProperty != null)
{
enabledProperty.SetValue(control, flag, null);
}
else
{
throw new ArgumentException("control does not have an \"Enabled\" property", "control");
}

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
