streamline basic code

Question

hi, i have a program, that has some code something like this....

If varb = 1 Then TextBox1.Text = vara
        If varb = 2 Then TextBox2.Text = vara
        If varb = 3 Then TextBox3.Text = vara
        If varb = 4 Then TextBox4.Text = vara

my question is, if i wanted to do this 180 times, is there a way to put this in code with a variable that counts from 1 to 180 and just use 1 line of code?  thanks.... 

Answer 1

Try this

       Dim varb As Integer = 1
        Dim mycontrol() As Control = Me.Controls.Find("Textbox" & varb, True)
        mycontrol(0).Text = "abc"

Hi,

For i As Integer = 1 To 180
If varb = i Then 
    Controls.Find("TextBox" & Cstr(i),True)(0).Text = vara
End If
Next

Best wishes

Since it is likely that number of textboxes would be created in code, not in the designer, then you should create an array or list of the textboxes as you create them.   Then you can simply update the textbox using the variable as the index:

    Textboxes(varb).Text = vara
