i'm trying to access controls in two containers...I could do it by using 2 foreach statement..

e.g

foreach(Control but in panel1.Controls)
{
  if(but is Button)
  {
    but.BackColor = Colors.Green;
  }
}
foreach(Control but in panel2.Controls)
{
  if(but is Button)
  {
    but.BackColor = Colors.Red;
  }
}

is there an easier way? or how do I do it using only 1 foreach statement?

Why do you need it in 1 foreach statement?

..uhh..the thing is I have to repeat this process again for the other containers..and I have 3 containers in my form and my code for the first container is already long...so I was wondering if, instead of copying and pasting the code 2 more times, I could do it in one foreach statement that accesses controls in 3 containers..

You could write a helper method:

void SetPanelButtonsBackColor(Panel panel, Color color)
{
    foreach(Control control in panel.Controls)
    {
        if(control is Button)
            control.BackColor = color;
    }
}
