I have a simple for loop as follows:
for (int i = 0; i > 20; i++)
{
}
Now I have 20 labels (label1, label2, label3 and so on..)
I would like to do something like:
for (int i = 0; i > 20; i++)
{
label[i].Text = String.Empty;
}
What is the easiest way to accomplish this?
If your labels are placed on one container, say Form, you may do the following:
foreach(Label l in this.Controls.OfType<Label>())
{
l.Text = string.Empty;
}
Same for any other container, say, Panel or GroupBox, just replace this with the name of the container (panel1.Controls, etc.)
I'd call your solution a design-flaw, but I'd go for something like this:
var itemArray = this.Controls.OfType<Label>();
foreach(var item in itemArray)
{
item.Text = string.Empty;
}
Create an array or list of labels and loop through that list to set the properties of each label
List<Label> labels = new List<Label>();
labels.Add(label1);
foreach(Label l in labels)
{
l.Text = String.Empty;
}
Don't know if its the easiest, it is the shortest though..
this.Controls.OfType<Label>().ToList().ForEach(lbl => { lbl.Text = String.Empty; });
ForEach...still getting accustomed to it myselfMaybe you can use FindControl with something like
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
(FindControl("txt" + i.ToString())).Text = String.Emty;
}
Label123.for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
