Question

If I have a textbox with the name textbox00 how do I get the data from it by using the name?

Answer 1

You can use Controls.Find() like this:

string ctlToFind = "textbox00";
TextBox tb = Controls.Find(ctlToFind, true).FirstOrDefault() as TextBox;
if (tb != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(tb.Text);
}
