Question

I’m trying the following code:

for (int i = 0; i < students.Length; i++)
{
    "student" + i.ToString().Text = students[i];
}

I already have many labels which each one has name like:
student1
student2
student3
.
.

But I got this error:
Error 1 ‘string’ does not contain a definition for ‘Text’ and no extension method ‘Text’ accepting a first argument of type ‘string’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) F:\Homework\Homework\Form1.cs 161 46 Homework

Any help please??!

Answer 1

You can’t have dynamic variable names, in just about any language.

Looks like you are looking to have a collection or array of controls.

Something like:

var studentControls = new List<Control>();
studentControls.Add(student1); 
studentControls.Add(student2);
...
for (int i = 0; i < students.Length; i++)
{
    studentControls[i].Text = students[i];
}
