Dynamically change the default Text in a textbox

I want to add a set of items to a table in runtime with C#.

One of those items would be a TextBox and I would like to make it show something like "Input Number1", "Input Number2", and so on.

private void Add_Input_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        TabelaInputs.Controls.Add( new TextBox() {Text = "Input number {0}",InputCount });

Doesn't seems to be the right way...

int counter = 0;
        private void Add_Input_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            new TextBox() { Name = "TextBox" + counter.ToString(), Text = "Input number " + counter.ToString() };
            counter++;
        }

This will create a new text box every time you click the button.

All you are missing is a call to string.Format();:

C# 5:

private void Add_Input_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TabelaInputs.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { Text = string.Format("Input number {0}", InputCount) });
}

C# 6:

private void Add_Input_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TabelaInputs.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { Text = $"Input number {InputCount}" });
}
