Accepted answer
If you need to access the textboxes in order, you could use FindControl:

string text = "";

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
TextBox tb = FindControl("txtRate" + i.ToString()) as TextBox;
if (tb != null) text += tb.Text + "
";
}

Response.Write(text);

Hi,
You can do this by

protected void BtnClearClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (Control ctrl in form1.Controls)
{
if (ctrl.GetType().Name == "TextBox")
{
TextBox txtBx = (TextBox) ctrl;
string s = txtBx.Text;
Response.Write(s + "
");
}

}
}

Hi Ravi,

You want to do this server side or client side. If it's client side then I suggest you use JavaScript or jQuery. And if it's server side, then just loop through all the control in parent container and check if it's a textbox.

Reply back if any clarification required.

Cheers!
