How do I group the TextBox controls and get their values in codebehind pages?

[Learner]

Hi there,
I have 10 text boxes defined to insert their values into the database.


How do I group all of these text boxes? I mean provide a common name to
the group and try access the values in the code behind page using For I
= 1 to 10 Next loop.

For instance the text boxes I have now are as below

_txtOptionText1
_txtOptionText2
_txtOptionText3
....
_txtOptionText10

I don't know of any property so that I can group them and access the
group in the code behind page.

Any input is appriciated,
-L

How about something like

ddlAddress.Attributes.Item("MyAttribute") = strAttrib

Hello Jeff,
I am sorry I don't understand what you are trying to explain. Could you
please take another moment to explain it a little.
Thanks,

how about

dim myControl as string
dim i as integer
dim currentTextBox as textbox
mycontrol="txtOptionText"

for i = 1 to 10
currentTextBox = page.FindControl(myControl & i)
currentTextBox.text = "Value " & i
next i

Did you try it? I'm just suggesting, create your own attribute. Essentially
your own property.

Hello Friends,
This is how finally I got it working . We use Master pages in our
application so I had to use FindControl to find the contentplaceholder
and then the controls inside of it. Its cool.

Dim QuestinOptionInsertResult As String = String.Empty
Dim myControl As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim currentTextBox As TextBox
myControl = "_txtOptionText"
Dim ctntplaceHolder As ContentPlaceHolder
ctntplaceHolder =
CType(Page.Master.FindControl("_ContentHolder"), ContentPlaceHolder)
For i = 1 To 5
currentTextBox = ctntplaceHolder.FindControl(myControl
& i)
Dim myCurrentTextBoxValue = currentTextBox.Text
If myCurrentTextBoxValue <> "" Then
Dim QuestionID As Integer =
Convert.ToInt32(GetBL.GetQuestionID())
QuestinOptionInsertResult =
GetBL.InsertQuestionOptions(QuestionID, _

myCurrentTextBoxValue, _

InsertedBY, _

ModifiedBy)
End If
Next i
