I have what is probably a very simple question, but it has me stumped. Is it possible to have a collection of controls? I have about 30 instances of a custom control on my form and at times would like to be able to treat the controls as a group. ie.

For x = 0 to 29
    myCollection(x).justdoit
Next

I have figured out how to create the collection as a class (inheriting Collection.Base). I have created methods that add my controls the list and an index as a property, but I am having trouble adding the controls that I have already created on my form, onto the collection.

Any ideas??

This is built into every control in .Net. Everything from the Page class on down comes from System.Web.UI.Control and on it is a ControlCollection property. You could use an instance of that collection and add all your custom controls to it.
