var layoutItem = (baseItem as LayoutItem);
foreach (var control in layoutItem.Controls) {
    ASPxEdit editor = control as ASPxEdit;
    if (editor != null)
        editor.Value = DateTime.Now;
}

Private Sub SurroundingSub()
    Dim layoutItem = (TryCast(baseItem, LayoutItem))

    For Each control In layoutItem.Controls
        Dim editor As ASPxEdit = TryCast(control, ASPxEdit)
        If editor IsNot Nothing Then editor.Value = DateTime.Now
    Next
