Access server control programatically like me.control("controlname").value

[Joe]

With asp.net 2.0 i have various textbox controls on my form. When the
user submits the form i want to do a

These are the controls:

<asp:TextBox ID="txtBook1" runat="server" CssClass="txtSmall"/>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBook2" runat="server" CssClass="txtSmall"/>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBook3" runat="server" CssClass="txtSmall"/>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBook4" runat="server" CssClass="txtSmall"/>


This is the code i am trying to write:

For I = 1 to 4
Somevar(I) = me.controls("txtbook" & I)
Next

No quite sure how to do it?

Thanks in Advance

Joe,
You are so close with your code great start. I'm not sure if just case of
txtBook will make it work! But I know for a fact this works with findcontrol.

For I = 1 to 4
Somevar(I) = me.findcontrol("txtBook" & I)
Next

Maybe an old style control array would work for you. Make a function that
returns textbox, find the control, return the control, use the function as a
control array. No error checking so be carefull.

Private Function txtBook(x as integer) As textbox
Return ctype(me.FindControl("txtBook" & x),textbox)
End Function

for k = 1 to 4
txtBook(k).text = "hello world"
next

Good Luck
