Hi all
I was wondering how you would go about using an object name in the code.
Example i have a number of labels naming lbl001, lbl002 etc.
In my code, say if i want to change all the label text, how would i change them easily?
ie

C#

for (int 1=0;i<20;i++)
{
lbl + i.tostring().padleft(0,3) .text - "Hello world";
}

TIA

First of all, don't write code samples which cannot compile. Write real code, copy what you really write in Visual Studio. Please fix it using "Improve question".
Show two examples: before change and after change, to show what you want to achieve.
So far, the question is unclear, it also pretty likely that it makes no sense. You subtracting a string from as string, it can't make any sense.

Hi,

You may use like following ..

C#

foreach(Control ctl in this.Controls)
{
if(ctl.GetType()==typeof(Label))
{
ctl.Text="Hello World";
}
}

Thanks

Try

C#

foreach (Control c in parent.Controls)
{
    int cnt = 1;
    if (c.GetType() == typeof(Label)) {
        if (c.Name == "lbl" + cnt)
        {
            //Do Stuff with the control
            cnt++;
        }
    }
}
