Question Indirect Textbox reference

[ArchAngel]

Is there a way to reference a group of TEXTBOX as if they were an array?

Right now I’m using TextBox0, TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3…
And I want to populate it with Data(0), Data(1), Data(2), Data(3)…

I want to try to do something like:

Dim x As Integer = 0
Do While (x < max)
(Textbox + x).text = Data(x)
Loop

give this a try

 Do While intcnt < max
            DirectCast(Me.Controls.Find("TextBox" & intcnt, True)(0), TextBox).Text = Data(intcnt)
        Loop

I am not sure this is the best method, but it should still work.

Looked promissing, but I got that Me.Controls.Find was not a member of
System.Web.UI.ControlCollection

But the following did work:

 Do While intcnt < max
       DirectCast(Me.FindControl("TextBox" & intcnt), TextBox).Text = Data(intcnt)
 Loop

Thanks

sorry you didn't mention this was a web form or app? I thought we were working on a windows application.
