title: ASP.NET Find Control with only part of the UniqueID
body: <p>So I have a situation where we are trying to reduce the page size. My job is to remove as much of the uniqueID's in the markup as possible.</p>
  
  <p>This is where I'm having a problem: I have a <code>value</code> which is <code>"innerContent$wizard$myTextBox"</code> and its <code>UniqueID</code> is <code>ctl00$ctl00$content$innerContent$wizard$myTextBox</code>. I have a call on the page <code>page.FindControl(value)</code> which returns null because I only have half the <code>UniqueID</code></p>
  
  <p>So my question is: How can I use <code>FindControl()</code> with only half the <code>UniqueID</code>? I'm certain that the <code>value</code> is unique for the page. (i.e there is no other <code>UniqueID</code> ending with this value.)</p>
