So I'm trying to create an 8X8 grid of textboxes. I want to have the ability to also access the textboxes when I need to search through them. I have looked into considering an embedded List (i.e. List<List<TextBoxes>>) Where the inner list has 8 slots and the outer lists also has 8. I was wondering if there was an easier way.
Also how would I add my textboxes from my form into this 2d array?
Thanks for the help.

You could use a TextBox[,] for this purpose:
private TextBox[,] textboxes;
public YourClass() {
// Add this after the text boxes have actually been set up...
textboxes = new TextBox[,] {
{textbox00, textbox01, textbox02, ...},
{textbox10, textbox11, textbox12, ...},
,,,
};
}
Then you can access textbox00 as textboxes[0,0], textbox56 as textboxes[5,6], etc.
try this:
private class Position
{
internal int Row;
internal int Col;
}
var txtBoxesDict=new Dictionary<Position, TextBox>();
txtBoxesDict.Add(new Position{Row=0,Col=0},txtBox0);
To access thrid textbox in fourth row, you can use:
MessageBox.Show(txtBoxesDict[new Position{Row=3, Col=2}].Text);
Use a standard 2D array TextBoxes[8,8]
