Referencing a control using code

I have 24 text boxes on a form called C1, C2, C3 ........


I want to do the following

For J As Integer = 1 To 24

Me.Controls("C" + J.ToString).Text = J.ToString

Next

This code is wrong of course as Controls is expecting an integer to use as
an index.

How do I make it work?

many thanks

Hello,
It'll look like this in C#.

int j = 1;
foreach(Control ctrl in this.Controls)
{
if(!ctrl.IsDisposed && (ctrl is typeof(TextBox) && ctrl.Name == "C" +
j)
((TextBox)ctrl).Name = j.ToString();
}

HTH. Cheers.
