Find control by name from Windows Forms controls

I have a list of my textbox names, and I want to find a control by name. How is it possible?


Solution 1:

Use Control.ControlCollection.Find.

TextBox tbx = this.Controls.Find("textBox1", true).FirstOrDefault() as TextBox;
tbx.Text = "found!";

EDIT for asker:

Control[] tbxs = this.Controls.Find(txtbox_and_message[0,0], true);
if (tbxs != null && tbxs.Length > 0)
{
    tbxs[0].Text = "Found!";
}

Solution 2:

You can use:

f.Controls[name];

Where f is your form variable. That gives you the control with name name.
