I believe it's equivalent to passing either a * (by value) or a ** (by ref) parameter.

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

if (this.ActiveControl.Equals(sender)) return;  //prevent the validation begin unexpectedly.

Quote:

The need for a collection of TextBox Controls functioning as a kind of logical unit for inputting/validating a set of data is very common. I prefer to implement this in a UserControl (or Panel) that implements validation, provides options for either sequential entry, random entry, etc. ... or, in a Form shown as a Dialog.

When your user interface requires a large number of Controls you probably should rethink your design

Of course having several TextBoxes isn't automatically wrong, or bad design; it may even be the right choice. Showing code for five, plus ellipsis, made me produce a warning.

TextBox tbs[] = { textBox10, textBox11, ..., textBox99 };
Object arr[tbs.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < tbs.Length; i++)
    tbs[i].Text = arr[i].ToString();

TextBox tbs[] = { textBox10, textBox11, ..., textBox99 };
Object arr[tbs.Length];
int i = 0;
foreach (TextBox tb in tbs)
      tb.Text = arr[i++].ToString();
