something like this might help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5883282/binding-property-to-control-in-winforms where you bind the textbox to a backing property instead (ie, an array of strings). — AJ X., Oct 05 '17 at 22:55

Yes, use the Controls collection. Here is a simple example:

for (int i=0; i<= a.GetUpperBound(0); i++)
{
    var name = string.Format("textBox{0}", i+1);
    var textbox = this.Controls[name] as TextBox;
    a[i] = textbox.Text;
}
