c# - How to handle a group of textbox/label in an array -

i have serie of textboxes , labels form textbox 1-9 , label 1 9. click on label clear correspondant textbox.

i created methode it's baby toy comparison procedures in tp or vb. there must shortest structered way. idea wiil appreciated?

what did :)))

    private void label1_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox1.text = "" ;     }     private void label2_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox2.text = "" ;     }     private void label3_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox3.text = "" ;     }     private void label4_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox4.text = "" ;     }     private void label5_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox5.text = "" ;     }     private void label6_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox6.text = "" ;     }     private void label7_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox7.text = "" ;     }     private void label8_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox8.text = "" ;     }     private void label9_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         textbox9.text = "" ;     } 

you can utilize tag property mark controls. can iterate through them (preferably starting parent control - form , use of recursion! or, if sure, container, holds group of controls).

// assign tag "1" "9" labels , texboxes // subscribe labels same event label_click private void label_click(object sender, eventargs e) {     string id = (sender control).tag.tostring();     // iterate or recurse     findtextboxwithid(id).clear(); } // shouldn't hard write findtextboxwithid 

other possibility create private arrays of controls, in form constructor, ease referencing them.

public textbox[] _textbox;  public form1() {     initializecomponent();     _textbox = new textbox[] {textbox1, texbox2, ..., textbox9}; }  // assign tag "0" "8" labels , texboxes // subscribe labels same event label_click private void label_click(object sender, eventargs e) {     int index = int.parse((sender label).tag);     _textbox[index].clear(); } 

third possibility utilize containers, example, tablelayoutpanel. can create 2 column container first column label's , second textbox'es. fill 9 rows , have fun in onclick (to find sender position, find texbox position, find textbox , clear it).
