Hello guys, so I created an array to hold a

bunch of textboxes prexisting in my winform because I don't want to keep typing all the names of the textboxes anytime I need to update them from some method if loops offer a shortcut.

So my expectation was that after creating the array of fixed size, even though the array elements are their own objects, assigning the pre-intantiated textbox controls to the elements of the array would cause the elements to hold references to the controls as no new objects are created, but just the old objects in the heap being reassigned to the array elements.

However, trying to change the state of the textbox controls using the elements in the array causes no change to the textboxes.

Any explanation why that is happening?
