runtime

I have a form in which several buttons are added at runtime via a 'for' method

 public Form()
 {
 for (int i = 0 ... )
  Button b = new Button() 
  b.text =  (string) i ;
  etc..
  etc..
  }

. now i wish to change the text property of the buttons on a certain event. How can this be accomplished? I have tried a few things but none worked.. since the buttons variables are inside the method , they are not available outside.

Thanks

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
