PictureBox value in C#

I have a question I'm still a newbie in C#. I have 10 pictureBox in my Form and in a method that I've created I need to change the picture but the pictureBox can change like this:

void evaluate(int c, int i) {
if (contador == 2)
{
    if (aux == i + 10 || aux + 10 == i)
    {
    }
    else 
    { 
        pictureBox+aux+.Image.FromFile(@"C:\MyGame Directory\new.jpg"); 
    }
}

I need something like this: Concatenate the pictureBox+myVariable+

Put all your pictureBox controls in a dictionary with aux as the key, assuming aux is a int:

Dictionary<int,PictureBox> picBoxes = new Dictionary<int,PictureBox>();

picBoxes[aux].Image.FromFile(@"C:\MyGame Directory\new.jpg");

Is it necessary to have soo many picture boxes? Instead have 1 and rotate the pics in it based on a timer or some logic.

I think you should use an array of PictureBox controls and then set the value for each of the contents using an index.

Try an array of PictureBox variables (assuming aux is an int). Then reference one with array notation:

pictureBoxes[aux].Image.FromFile(@"...");
