You would normally use the containers Controls collection, but you can also declare your own collections or arrays of different types.

    Private TextboxArray(5) As TextBox

    Private Sub tba()
        For i As Integer = 0 To 4
            Dim tb As New TextBox
            tb.Location = New Point(10, i * tb.Height)
            TextboxArray(i) = tb
        Next
        Me.Controls.AddRange(TextboxArray)
    End Sub

what do you need a textbox array for? Whats it used for. I just dont see why you have to use it, in difference with the regular arrays.. Im rather new at vb.net so i'd like to learn as much as possible ^^ Don't mind me asking please

I don't know if this is a good way to simulate control arrays ( in an easy way ). But I use the following code to simulate them if it has to go quickly.

    Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim txtBoxes(3) As Control
        txtBoxes(0) = txtName
        txtBoxes(1) = txtAddress
        txtBoxes(2) = txtEmail
        txtBoxes(3) = txtComment
    End Sub
