How do I convert type string to System.Windows.Form.TextBox?

Question

I am creating textboxes dynamically. So I want a unique (Name) for every textbox I create, as I want to save the contents of every textbox in a file.
for (int p = 1; p <= 4; p++)
{
string str = "txt" + b + a;
//How so I convert this into textBox form???
TextBox txt = (TextBox)str; //ERROR

a++;
txt = new TextBox();
panel1.Controls.Add(txt);
Please suggest an effective code, Thank you in advance.

Hello could you please suggest me how I can save the contents of these dynamically created textboxes into a file? I am not able to access these dynamically created textboxes. This is the code I've written to create text boxes. private void button2_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { int left1 = 80; string num = textBox2.Text; int n = Int32 .Parse(num); int b = 1; for ( int k = 1; k { int top1 = 30 a = 0; for ( int p = 1; p { string str = txt + b + a; TextBox txt = new TextBox (); panel1.Controls.Add(txt); //these textboxes are added on the panel txt.Name = str; txt.Size = new Size (30 20); txt.Top += top1; top1 += 30; txt.Left = left1; txt.BackColor = Color .Cornsilk; a++; txt.Show(); } left1 += 100; } b++; } Now with a click of another button I want to access the text I've entered in these textboxes (that are present on the panel) and save them in a file. This is the code I've written private void button3_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { string num = textBox2.Text; int n = Int32 .Parse(num); string dir = textBox1.Text; string file = @H:\ + dir + \Test.txt ; int a = 1 b = 1; for ( int i = 1; i { for ( int j = 1; j { StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter (file); string str = txt + b + a; a++; //How can I access the [Name] of those textbox I've created dynamically on the panel???? string data = str.Text; ' string delm1 = - ; writer.Write(data); writer.Write(delm1); writer.Close(); } b++; string delim2 = $ ; StreamWriter writer1 = new StreamWriter (file); writer1.Write(delim2); writer1.Close(); } Could you please suggest an effective code? Thank you in advance.
