[RESOLVED] Resolve Control name on the fly?

[aconybeare]

Don't think that the best title...

Does anyone know how to resolve object names on the fly

e.g. I have 6 controls called

_{mybox1
mybox2
mybox3
...}

when the form is submitted I want to look though them creating a list

Dim mystring as string 
 
for i = 1 to 6
  mystring += mybox+i.tostring.trim + ","
next
 
'Save myString to DB

Is this a clue?

Dim txtTemp As New TextBox
 
For i As Integer = 0 to 6
mystring &= CType(Page.FindControl("mybox" & i.ToString()), TextBox) & ","
Next i

Mendhak,

Thanks for the tip

This seems to work

Dim myStr As String = vbNullString
Dim txtTemp As New TextBox
 
For i As Integer = 1 To 3
    txtTemp = CType(Page.FindControl("txtName" & i.ToString()), TextBox)
    myStr += txtTemp.Text.ToString.Trim & ","
Next i
 
Response.Write("Returned Vals: " & myStr)

I've tried giving you kudos on a few occasions but I keep getting told I need to spread my love around first.

Much obliged anyway

Cheers Al
