[RESOLVED] Simple Array Question

[Yumby]

Okay, I've looked but I can't work out arrays for textboxes and labels. So, using 2 textboxes, how do I do the following in VB.Net?

For x = 1 to 2
	if x = 1 then
	txtbox(x).text = "One"
	else
	txtbox(x).text = "Two"
	end if
next x

Any links, help out there? Thanks.

try this:

dim txtbox() as textbox = {textbox1, textbox2}
For x = 1 to 2
    if x = 1 then
        txtbox(x - 1).text = "One" 'arrays are zero based
    else
        txtbox(x - 1).text = "Two"
    end if
next x

Yep that works. Thanks a lot! And another question, is this the correct way of doing it in vb.net? I read something about arrays not being offered, or we don't need to use arrays, in vb.net. Something about the controls collection. So, if there is another better way, or more correct way, what is it?

before vb.net you could copy a control, say textbox1 + paste it, then the original textbox would be textbox1(0) + the new textbox would be textbox1(1), but it doesn't work that way in vb.net

That's true. So my question is, how does it work in vb.net? When I create a textbox and then another textbox I get "TextBox1" and "TextBox2." Is there a way I can reference those numbers that are attached to the name of the textboxes? Or am I suppossed to do it another way? Overall I'd like to learn how to code it the proper way. Thanks for the help.

Yeah sorry, that was a poorly worded question on my part. Well ok, I'll do it that way then. Problem solved. Cheers.
