Textbox array vs express 2010

Question

Hi

Is it possible to create an array of text boxes at design time rather than laboriously code each one.
I am not a lazy programmer(beginner), I just like to spend my time on more constructive things.

Thanks

It's not possible to create an array of textboxes at design time. However if the textboxes are numbered consecutively then you can create an array of them fairly simply in code. For example if you have 10 textboxes : textBox1 textBox2 etc. all placed directly on the form then you can create an array of them as follows: TextBox[] textBoxes = new TextBox[10]; for(int i = 0; i { textBoxes[i] = (TextBox)this.Controls[textBox + (i + 1).ToString()]; }
