Get the names of the datagridview present in the form - vb.net

Question

How can I check the number of DataGridViews on a form, and then display present their names in VB.NET?
I have tried this:
For Each dgv As DataGridView In Me.Controls
MsgBox(dgv.Name)
Next
But my guess is that Me.Controls consists of every other form controls except DataGridView?

Answer 1

For Each _control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf _control Is DataGridView Then
MsgBox(_control.Name)
End If
Next

I know this question is posted long time ago. In answer posted by #AadityaDengle You'll get DataGridView controls placed in form but, if DataGridView is nested in some other control (for example Panel, TableLayoutPanel, GroupBox, ...) it will not find it.
You have to search in all controls using "recursive search" way. Below is example :
'there will be stored names(id) of all DataGridView controls
Private allGrids As String = ""
Private Sub getAllGrids()
'loop through all controls on a form
For Each c As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf c Is DataGridView Then
'if control is DataGridView, then collect her name(id)
allGrids += c.Name.ToString + ","
Else
'if control isn't type of DataGridView and have child control(s), loop through that control
'(for example Panel, TableLayoutPanel,GroupBox, ...)
If c.HasChildren = True Then getAllGrids(c)
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub getAllGrids(cnt As Control)
'loop through all controls on a "container" control
'the search principle is the same like in getAllGrids on a form
For Each c As Control In cnt.Controls
If TypeOf c Is DataGridView Then
'collect DataGridView name(id)
allGrids += c.Name.ToString + ","
Else
'subroutine call hisself again with new control
If c.HasChildren = True Then getAllGrids(c)
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MsgBox(allGrids)
End Sub

Even though both answers by #AadityaDengle and #nelek are right I will leave my code here that I think it's a little more structured.
Note that this code does work with or without your DataGridView is placed inside a Panel or a GroupBox.
'Loop throught all DataGridViews in your Form
Private Sub FormDGV(ByVal Controlo As Control)
If Controlo.HasChildren Then
If TypeOf Controlo Is DataGridView Then
MessageBox.Show(Controlo.Name)
End If
For Each Control As Control In Controlo.Controls
FormDGV(Control)
Next
End If
End Sub´
If your DataGridViews are nested in a Panel or something like that you need to send the specifc Panel through parameter like this -
FormDGV(YourPanel)
But if they are not, you just need to send the form itselt.
