iterate text boxes by a for loop

Question

Say I have 10 text boxes and I want to put the same text into each of them. I don\'t want to write textBoxNum. Text = \"hello!\" ten times so I might write somethin

Answer 1

You could also edit controls only matching something that you want. Here's an example.

foreach(Control ctrl in Controls)
  {
    if (ctrl.Name.StartsWith("TextBoxToEdit"))
    {
      ctrl.Text = "Hello!";
    }
  }

Also, there is no need to cast the control into TextBox as Control already has the Text property.
