Creating Array of Buttons that already exist
Hi guys, I have 48 buttons on my form, the problem is; how can I make it as one. I mean, how can I create an array of buttons just like in VB 6.0

In .NET you have to create the array manually.
This is tedious unless your buttons have similar names such as button1, button2, .... , button48 and they're all in the same container such as the form itself.
In that case you can do (.NET 2.0 or later):
Button[] buttons = new Button[48];
for(int i = 0; i < 48; i++)
{
buttons[i] = (Button)this.Controls["button" + (i + 1).ToString()];
}
