For loop to Populate Textblocks

Question

I want to populate 40 textblocks on an application, they all have slightly different names but in common they end in a different number.

I would like to use:

for(int i = 1; i < 41; i++)
{
    textblock_(i).text = array[i].ToString();
}

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

In WPF, you can use FindName method.

Firstly, we get an object by FindName(Control's x:Name). And then cast it into your control's type. Just like this:

for (int i = 1; i < 41; i++)
{
    TextBlock tb = (this.FindName(string.Format("textblock_{0}", i)) as TextBlock);
    tb.Text = array[i].ToString();
}

If you are using Windows Forms (WinForms) then: Control.ControlCollection.Find

Example:

TextBox currentTextBox = this.Controls.Find("textBox1" + i.ToString(), true).FirstOrDefault() as  TextBox;
currentTextBox.Text = array[i].ToString();

Or in WPF: How can I find WPF controls by name or type? CrimsonX's answer
