The Weird and The Wonderful

Do something absolutely is critical here to know whether it is horrible or not.

The following sample indicates what you saw is not horrible:

See, I have two controls: Label0 and TextBox1. I can assign values to them:

 for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
 {
    if (i == 0)
    {
       Label lable = (Label)this.FindControl("Label" + i.ToString());
       if (lable != null)
         lable.Text = "Test Label " + i.ToString();
    }

    if (i == 1)
    {
       TextBox txt = (TextBox)this.FindControl("TextBox" + i.ToString());
       if (txt != null)
         txt.Text = "Test TextBox " + i.ToString();
    }
}

See it? It is not a usual way, but, not as horrible as you saw.

for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
  if(i==0)
    Console.WriteLine("This is a zero");
  if(i==1)
    Console.WriteLine("This is a one");
}
