How can i write the text of my String array into multiple Textboxes

i want to know how i can write the text of my String Array in multiple textboxes. For example i have an array of the length 5 so it should write inside the first five textboxes the text that is stored. The maximum is 14 textboxes that can be written. The string is filled with filenames that i read out of the given path and i want to display every filename in an textbox so the user can select which one he wants to use.

If you want the user to select a line of text, i would recommend to use a ListBox. The array should also be a List of strings.

The List for string would look like that:

List<string> texts = new List<string>();

Use to add sth to the List:

texts.Add("some text");

Finally to place every item in the list, use a foreach loop:

foreach (string item in texts)
{
    listBox1.Items.Add(item);
}

Let me know if it works

Can you try this code, using some linq.

Assumption

Your textboxes are directly put in Form, no other panels.

            foreach (var pair in strings.Take(14).Zip(
                this.Controls.OfType<TextBox>()))
            {
                pair.Second.Text = pair.First;
            }

Create a list/array of the textboxes

myTextboxes = new []{
   textbox1,
   textbox2,
    ....
}

and use .Zip to combine the lists so they can be looped over:

foreach(var (myTextbox, myString ) in myTextboxes.Zip(myStrings){
    myTextbox.Text = myString ;
}
