Variable string as Objectname

Question

I'm a Dutch student and i'm starting with one of my first c# applications. Today a big problem occured to me: I want to use a string as an object name for a textbox. I'd like to make several textboxes within a for-statement and I want to use names for these so I can modify them seperately. The problem is that I can't modify them because they don't have different object names. I'd like to give them names like: textBox1 textBox2 etc. How can I use a string to become an object name? (as in the example the first time the for-loop runs I want the object to have the name textBox1 the second loop textBox2 etc. etc.) thank you very much in advance Remco van Wijk

Try this: for(int i = 1; i<=5 ; i++) { TextBox txtBox = new TextBox(); txtBox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(300 100 + (i * 25)); txtBox.Name = TextBox + i.ToString(); txtBox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(120 20); txtBox.Text = TextBox + i.ToString(); this.Controls.Add(txtBox); }
