Array of Labels

How to create array of labels with Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition ? Is there way to do it with graphical (drag'n'drop) editor or I have to manually add it to auto generated code ?

int i=0;
ControlNum=10;
Label[] lblExample= new Label[];
for(i=0;i<ControlNum;i++)
{
  lblExample[i] = new Label();
  lblExample[i].ID="lblName"+i;  //lblName0,lblName1,lblName2....

 Form1.Controls.Add(lblExample[i]);
}

Label[ , ] _arr = new Label[4 , 4];

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 for(int i=0;i<4;i++){
    for(int j=0;j<4;j++){
        _arr[i ,j] = new Label();
        _arr[i ,j].Text = ""+i+","+j;
        _arr[i ,j].Size = new Size(50,50);
        _arr[i ,j].Location = new Point(j*50,i*50);
        //you can set other property here like Border or else
        this.Controls.Add(_arr[i ,j]);
    }
 }
}

if you want to set Border of Label in C# maybe you should check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.label.aspx

Label have property called Border. Please check it. Thanks

You have to manually add it. But don't add it to auto generated code as it can be overwritten by Visual Studio designer.

I would add it in Load event handler for the form. The code can look like this: 

Label[] labels = new Label[10];
labels[0] = new Label();
labels[0].Text = "blablabla";
labels[0].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(100, 100);
...
labels[9] = new Label();
...

PS. Your task seems a little unusual to me. What do you want to do? Maybe there are better ways to accomplish your task.

You can add the labels to the form using the GUI editor, then add those to the array in form load. 

Label[] _Labels = new Label[3];
private void MyForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _Labels[0] = this.Label1;
    _Labels[1] = this.Label2;
    _Labels[2] = this.Label3;
}

This will at least make setting the location easier. Also you might want to consider using the FlowLayoutPanel if you're dynamically creating labels (or any control really).
