for next and textboxes

[vampireslayer]

Hi people,

I'm a beginner at this so please bear with me...
I'm trying to write a program and I need to get a for next statement that works with textboxes.
I know from vba that the me.controls statement will do just that, but apparently If i try this in vb.net 2005 this won't work: I get a "property item is read only" error.

I tried this code:

dim i as integer
for i = 1 to 10
  me.controls("textbox" & i ) = i
next i

what am i doing wrong and how cn i make it right

what exactly are you trying to do?

Welcome to the forums.

What is it that you are trying to do? Just loop through your textboxs?

Me.Controls(index/name) returns a control, youre trying to put an Integer value in its place. I assume you want to set it to the textboxes textvalue:

dim i as integer
for i = 1 to 10
  me.controls("textbox" & i ).Text = i.ToString()
next i

sorry for my late reply guys, but i haven't had time to continue working on the project.

thanks for replying, i will try Atheist's method, it seems to be doing what i'm trying to accomplish
