control arrays

how do i refer to objects like text boxes as if they were in an array. basically i want to be able to say
(TextBox + i).Text = "..."
basically, how can i refer to a textbox where i have a variable of type string as the name of the textbox?

thanks

If you mean like control arrays as in VB6 , then this's already died out .

here's one way ...

VB Code:

[color=blue]Dim[/color] tb [color=blue]As[/color] Control
        [color=blue]For Each[/color] tb [color=blue]In MyBase[/color].Controls
            [color=blue]If[/color] tb.Name = "TextBox1" [color=blue]Then[/color]
                tb.Text = "some text"
            [color=blue]End If[/color]
        [color=blue]Next[/color]
