Simple loop question

[Beast777]

If I have a bunch of checkboxes and all I want to do is loop through them all and see if they are checked or not and depending on whether they are or not, set a variable. Here is the code that does it the long way:

 if (chk1.Checked)
        {
            intQ1 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ1 = 0;
        }
        if (chk2.Checked)
        {
            intQ2 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ2 = 0;
        }
        if (chk3.Checked)
        {
            intQ3 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ3 = 0;
        }
        if (chk4.Checked)
        {
            intQ4 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ4 = 0;
        }
        if (chk5.Checked)
        {
            intQ5 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ5 = 0;
        }
        if (chk6.Checked)
        {
            intQ6 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ6 = 0;
        }
        if (chk7.Checked)
        {
            intQ7 = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            intQ7 = 0;
        }

I am not sure how I would set all the variables. Each intQ is a int variable.
I know the loop is like this but the variable is what I am stuck on.

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)
{
	if (c is CheckBox) {
		MessageBox.Show(c.Name);
	}
}

Thanks for any help

So are you saying that the only thing in this.Controls are the checkboxes? You don't even need to do an if statement. I believe this would work:

intQ1 = (int)chk1.Checked

[Beast777]

Yes but I have alot of checkboxes on some of these webpages. I was thinking something like:

        foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
        {


            if (ctrl is CheckBox)
            {

                CheckBox chk = new CheckBox();
                chk = (CheckBox)ctrl;
                if (chk.Checked)
                {

                }
            }
        }

but have no idea on how to have the variable match the current checkbox. With your idea I would still need a line for each checkbox. I want it not to matter how many.

[Steve_F]

First of all you're making that way too complicated... I think you could just do this:

foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
        {


            if (ctrl is CheckBox)
            {
                if (((CheckBox)ctrl).Checked)
                {

                }
            }
        }

As far as the variables could you just use an array and have them correspond like that?

[Beast777]

Yes either would work, I think but as far as the array, I am hoping for an example, I have not really used them before and have no idea what the code would look like to make it work.

[Steve_F]

I haven't really tested this but....

            private const int MAX_SIZE = 10;            
            CheckBox[] cbArr = new CheckBox[MAX_SIZE];
            int[] intQ = new int[MAX_SIZE];

            // Update the integer values
            for(int i = 0; i<MAX_SIZE; i++)
            {
                intQ[i] = System.Convert.ToInt32(cbArr[i].Checked);
            }

[Steve_F]

Does this make sense? Each index in the integer(intQ) array would correspond to the same index in the CheckBox(cbArr) array. If it doesn't make sense just let me know and I can try to explain it better.
