Pass multiple components to single function

Question

I have no idea how to pass a large amount of objects to a single function.  I have multiple textboxes that I need to compare.  I want to write a generic function that checks to see if a textbox.text is between two values.  I have to do this for 20 or so boxes.  I can use the a textbox by name but how do I make a list of specific text boxes and then either pass them one by one in a loop?

Answer

I think I gave you the idea for a function earlier, you dont have to know what specific text box it is, just if its a text box or not.
private bool IsTextInputValid( TextBox textBox)
{
int textBoxValue = 0;
if ( Int32 .TryParse(textBox.Text, out textBoxValue))
{
if (textBoxValue > 0 && textBoxValue // 0 and 10 are arbitrary numbers...
{
return true ;
}
}
else
return false ;
}
Alternatively you could attach a Validating event handler to each TextBox, but make the handler method the same for each text box.
// Assuming the event handler has already been attached to each text box.
private void textBox_Validating ( object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
int textBoxValue = 0;
TextBox validatingBox = null ;
if ((sender as TextBox ) != null )
{
if ( Int32 .TryParse(textBox.Text, out textBoxValue))
{
if (textBoxValue 10) // 0 and 10 are arbitrary numbers...
{
// notify user some how, use an ErrorProvider control maybe?
}
}
else
{
// notify user some how, use an ErrorProvider control maybe?
}
}
}
This is the way I use most of the time. Its clean and I can handle multiple text boxes with it so long as I attach the handler to their Validating event.
