Answer 1

using the manual approach of String.Empty for each and every Textbox or any other field will be cumbersome, also by using Response.Redirect(); it will be difficult to show any confirmation message or same. So, on reading so many blogs i have found a reliable approach so far:

    Public void reset(Control control)
    {
      foreach (Control x in control.Controls)
      {
        if (x is TextBox)
        {
            (x as TextBox).Text = String.Empty;
        }
        else if (x is DropDownList)
        {
            (x as DropDownList).SelectedIndex = 0;
        } 
        .
        .
        reset(x);
      }
    }


          

use this code as reset(this); in your page wherever you want to reset or clear the values. At end of the if conditions do not forget to use the function recursively using the same

`Control` object x.
