C# Coding Shortcuts

Question

Hi All I'm not sure if there is a shorter way to do what I'm trying to do but if there is I would appreciate your help. Here is what I'm doing: lbl_item2.Visible = false ; lbl_item3.Visible = false ; lbl_item4.Visible = false ; lbl_item5.Visible = false ; lbl_item6.Visible = false ; lbl_item7.Visible = false ; lbl_item8.Visible = false ; lbl_item9.Visible = false ; lbl_item10.Visible = false Can I put this in a loop somehow?

Assuming all the labels have been placed directly on the form (and not in some container such as a GroupBox or Panel) then you could do this: foreach(Control c in this.Controls) { if (c is Label && c.Name.StartsWith(lbl_item)) c.Visible = false; }
