What i've done is create a helper in a .cshtml file in my App_Code folder that creates a textbox:

@helper CreateTextBox(string id)
{
    <input type="text" id="@id"/>
}

Then in my view I can create the textboxes dynamically:

@foreach (var item in Model.Applications)
{
    @MyHelpers.CreateTextBox("textBoxAppId" + item.ApplicationId)       //you can also use your own index here
}

When trying to read my input after a postback, I just loop thru parameters in the Request.Form that start with 'textBoxAppId'
