Find the control inside the contenttemplate of the device specific?

In my mobile application i wanted to find a control that was in a devicespecific tag. I am surprised there was no dirac way to find that control and following work-around solved my issue.

public Control GetControl(string ID, Control cstart)
    {
        Control co = new Control();
        Type t = typeof(System.Web.UI.MobileControls.TemplateContainer);
        if (cstart.HasControls())
        {
            foreach (Control c in cstart.Controls)
            {
                if (co != null)
                {
                    if (t.IsInstanceOfType(c))
                    {
                        co = c.FindControl(ID);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if (c.HasControls())
                        {
                            co = GetControl(ID, c);
                        }
                    }
                }

            }
        }

        return co;
    }

If you want to find a dropdownlist named "ddlItems" inside devicespecific tag use

DropDownList ddl= (DropDownList)GetControl("ddlItems",this );

I am still searching for a simpler way to do this. In the time hope this will help in some way.

cheers
Happy coding,
