I assume that there is a "relationship" between Label and TextBox,: that probably you want each Label to inform the user what the TextBox created with it is for, and to have a certain relationship in terms of position (to the right, left, above, below) to the TextBox ...

Is that correct ? Do you have code now that handles the positioning of the Labels and TextBoxes ? Or, are you putting them in some ContainerControl that positions them for you, like a FlowLayoutPanel ?

Is it the case that you will need to create Labels/TextBoxes more than once at run-time ?

You need to do that in run time.

Suppose you have a windows form, and for n you want to create n labels and textboxes.
Now you can do:

for (int i=0;i<n;i++){>
Label label =new Label(){ Text = "WHATEVER"};
Textbox textBox= new Textbox(){Text = ""};

//Now add to the form directly, if you want to add to some container then thats ok just //place them where ever you want.
yourForm.Controls.Add(label);
yourForm.Controls.Add(textBox);
}

try this....

C#

int n = 4; // Or whatever value - n has to be global so that the event handler can access it

private void btnDisplay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  TextBox[] textBoxes = new TextBox[n];
  Labels[] labels = new Labels[n];

  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
    textBoxes[i] = new TextBox();
    // Here you can modify the value of the textbox which is at textBoxes[i]

    labels[i] = new Label();
    // Here you can modify the value of the label which is at labels[i]
  }

  // This adds the controls to the form (you will need to specify thier co-ordinates etc. first)
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
    this.Controls.Add(textBoxes[i]);
    this.Controls.Add(labels[i]);
  }
}
