Even though this question has been discussed for more than 9 years, here I leave the code that worked for me based on @Jagadheesh Venkatesan's code.

private List<Control> getControls()
{
    List<Control> lControls = new List<Control>();
    foreach (Control oControl in Page.Controls)
        foreach (Control childControl1 in oControl.Controls)
            foreach (Control childControl2 in childControl1.Controls)
                foreach (Control childControl3 in childControl2.Controls)
                    if (childControl3.GetType().ToString().Contains("System.Web.UI.WebControls"))
                        lControls.Add(childControl3);
    return lControls;
}
