RE: Set property of texbox by name

[James Chapman-Smith]

I assume you wanted VB.NET. If not, I can provide a better answer in C# if you 
need it.

Try this:

        For Each button In (From x In Me.GetAllControls(Me).OfType(Of Button)() 
_
            Where x.Name = "Button" & n _
            Select x)
            button.Text = t
        Next

You need to define this function:

    Private Function GetAllControls(ByVal control As Control) As IEnumerable(Of 
Control)
        Dim r = New List(Of Control)
        r.Add(control)
        For Each c In control.Controls
            r.AddRange(GetAllControls(c))
        Next
        Return r
    End Function

I have a form with many buttons.

I want to be able to set the text property of the textbox at runtime by string.

("Button" & i).Text = "Hello"  'Of course this doesn't work...how do i

eg if i=1  then i want the code to do   button1.text="Hello"
