If you're in the full framework, how about a control array?
If you're in the compact framework, maybe create a dictionary using
"Button1" etc as the key. Initialise this in the form constructor.

Create a collection of Button references and then reference the buttons via the
collection.
List buttons = new List(NUMBER_OF_BUTTONS);
buttons[0] = button0;
buttons[1] = button1;
...
buttons[i].Text = "Hello"

I assume you wanted VB.NET. If not, I can provide a better answer in C# if you
need it.
Try this:
For Each button In (From x In Me.GetAllControls(Me).OfType(Of Button)()
_
Where x.Name = "Button" & n _
Select x)
button.Text = t

This may work but it would be incredibly slow. Better to use a
reference to access the control you want directly. eg something like
either Ben's or my previous post.

Hi David,
What do you mean by incredibly slow? How many buttons are we talking about?
I just did a test with 1000 buttons and it took 3.47 milliseconds. With 5000
buttons it was 16.78 milliseconds.
Did I miss something?
Cheers.

efficiently and uses far less battery
David,
When optimizing code then you will be looking for your best "bang for
buck" and focus on slow parts of an app.
In this case, we are not optimizing but selecting which code we are
about to write. If you have a choice or two pieces of code with
similar effort to implement both but one is mu

Yep,

although it's really only an issue outside of English/ascii. That said, if
you program for Unicode from the get go, you avoid a lot of code review
should you ever need to switch to Unicode/multi-cultural from asci
