c# - Get all controls of a specific type

Question

I have multiple pictureboxes and I need to load random images into them during runtime. So I thought it would be nice to have a collection of all pictureboxes and then assign images to them using a simple loop. But how should I do it? Or maybe are there any other better solutions to such problem?

Answer 1

Using a bit of LINQ:

foreach(var pb in this.Controls.OfType<PictureBox>())
{
  //do stuff
}

However, this will only take care of PictureBoxes in the main container.
