uxTypesDisplayer.Visible = false;

I need to setup visibility for all this panel without mention the single ID for every single panel.

Do you know guys how to do it? Thanks

Answer 1

In the code-behind, you can just put everything in one parent Panel and set it's Visible property to false;

Answer 2

why do you need this?

are you trying to show no panel by default, and then by some logic display 1 or more of them?

in this case, add the parameter visible="false" in your aspx page for each panel.

Answer 3

public void HidePanelsRecursively(Control container)
{
    if (container is Panel)
        container.Visible = false;

    foreach (Control ctrl in container.Controls)
        HidePanelsRecursively(ctrl);
}

And then just call it like this in your Page's code-behind:

HidePanelsRecursively(this);
