Dynamic Variable Name Use in C# for WinForms

Question

Not sure what is the best way to word this, but I am wondering if a dynamic variable name access can be done in C# (3.5).

Here is the code I am currently looking to

No, but you could do something like this (untested, beware of syntax errors):

private readonly CheckBox[] allMyCheckboxes = new CheckBox[] { chkCategory1, chkCategory2, ... }

Then you just need to do

for (i = 0; i < 12; i++) allMyCheckboxes[i].Text = categories[i];
