I have test.aspx file with its code behind located on my hard drive.

The test.aspx is not part of my web application.

I want to load this aspx file into the ASP.NET Page object so that I can navigate through some controls in it.

Basically what I wnat is get list of all the controlls say asp:button in the the given aspx file.

How to do that ..

I dont want to use regular expression.

Reflection could be an option.

as far as I know you can not access a class [basically an aspx page is a class]  without referencing it in your project. What u can do is, reference the other web sites assembly in u r prject and use below code

 WebForm2 x = new WebForm2();
            foreach (Control ctrl in x.Controls )
            {
               
            }

WebForm2 is on my disk and not part of any assembly, niether it is in any other web application. Its like stand alone file on a disk.

Now what to do?

How to do that, Please provide some help, some code.

 here you go
