SQL

string[] x = new string[] { "NAME", "SEX", "AGE", "SCHOOL"};
        public void ClearControls(TextBox[] A)
        {
            foreach (TextBox a in A)
            {
                a.Text = x;
            }

The method is intended to assign elements of x to some textboxes. The statement: a.Text=x; is the problem. I would appreciate it modified for me.
Thank you.

Well you are not assigning elements of x to textboxes, you are assigning x. And you are trying to assign x to all of your textboxes.

Solution 1

x is an array.

Perhaps what you want is something similar to

C#

for (Int32 i = 0; i < A.Length; i++)
{
 A[i].Text = x[i];
}

Add the proper checking for nulls, etc, etc.

Thanks a lot for taking me on revision, I was too minded on advance way of doing things and became ignorant of the simple ways I use to do things.
U're appreciated.

No problem. I love foreach compared to for i loops and sometimes I start writing a foreach on an object that doesn't support it and I have to change it back to for i loop. :)

Solution 2

A should be a method that gets a list of all the textboxes in the form.
Have a counter that increments and keep assigning a.Text =x[counter];

U're appreciated.
