What references should I add to make "Dim", "For", "Integer" and Next" to work in my UI?

Question

Hello,

I'm creating a VB UI and I added a text fields and a button to rest the text fields. I'm using the following code to reset the text field using a button.

"

 private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          Dim i as Integer
  Dim tboxes(4) as String = New String() {"Text1","Text2","Text3","Text4"} 
   For i = 0 To 3 
    'set the value to "" 
    Next i  
        }

"

But none of the functions are working and its saying the following message when I hover over it.

"The type or namespace "Dim" could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference? )"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shaped

The following makes a List(Of TextBox) at form level but could be private to the procedure. This is better than a list of string that you would then need to cast to a TextBox.

Private tboxes As New List(Of TextBox)
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    tboxes.AddRange({TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3, TextBox4})
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    tboxes.ForEach(Sub(tb)
                        tb.Clear()
                    End Sub)
End Sub

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            tBoxes.ForEach(tb => tb.Clear());
        }
        private List<TextBox> tBoxes;
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            tBoxes = new List<TextBox>() {TextBox1,TextBox2,TextBox3, TextBox4 };
        }
    }
}
