Question

I can successfully create objects dynamically and name them dynamically. Example: click on a canvas to create an image named ‘image1’, click somewhere else, and create ‘image2’ etc. But after that, what if I want to change an attribute based on the name? In my javascript days I would getElementById(‘image1’).style.color = #ffffff;

What about in c#? where is the ‘getElementById()’ so to speak?

In Winforms you can use either

Control c = Form1.Controls.Find("image1", true);

or

int i = Form1.Controls.IndexOfKey("image1")
Control c = Form1.Controls[i];

For WPF things are different, this SO question looks like it might be helpful in that case: How can I find WPF controls by name or type?
