I am trying to duplicate the Control Arrays of VB6 in VB.Net.

For example, on a form, I have 4 Text Boxes; in the ToolBox of VB.Net, there is a TextBoxArray control that I can add to the VB.Net form I am creating.

How do I populate the TextBoxArray, such as to include in it the 4 Text Boxes I have put on my form such that I can access them programmatically afterwards ?

I suppose it can be done using the Form Designer, identifying each of the Text Boxes that will be tied to the TextBoxArray, but what is the sequence of actions to get there ? (as far as possible, I want to avoid doing this programmatically).

Once I know how to operate with a TxtBoxArray, I imagine the sequence will be the same for any other Control Array.

Thanks for any tip. Azzar
