如何将数组中的不同元素分配给不同的文本框C＃

Question

I have an array with 100 elements that I want to assign to 100 text boxes in a windows form. The issue is the array is not sorted in a useful manner so a for loop won't work.

The only thing I can think of is to write 100 lines of code that assign the correct array element to the correct textbox but that seems like a horrible way of doing it.

A quick example of the how the array is formatted is below:

10  Air Temperature #1,           1 Minute Run Average     Celsius  Minute 59-60
11  Humidity,                     1 Minute Run Average           %  Minute 59-60
12  Air Temperature #1,          60 Minute Run Average     Celsius  Minute 00-60
13  Air Temperature #1,      Max(1 Minute Run Average)     Celsius  Minute 00-60
14  Humidity,                Max(1 Minute Run Average)           %  Minute 00-60
15  Air Temperature #1,      Min(1 Minute Run Average)     Celsius  Minute 00-60
16  Humidity,                Min(1 Minute Run Average)           %  Minute 00-60

As you can see, Air Temperature is split up, further down the array are Air Temperature #2 values, but I want all Temperature data to be together.

Create a class which represent your data in one item

class MeasureData
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string AverageData { get; set; }
    public string Unit { get; set; }
    public string Minutes{ get; set; }
}

Instead of textboxes use DataGridView control.
Create collection of data and add collection as DataSource to the DataGridView

var data = new MeasureData[]
{
    new MeasureData
    {
        Id = 10,
        Description = "Air Temperature #1",
        AverageData = "1 Minute Run Average",
        Unit = "Celsius",
        Minutes = "Minute 59-60"
    },
    new MeasureData
    {
        Id = 11,
        Description = "Humidity",
        AverageData = "1 Minute Run Average",
        Unit = "%",
        Minutes = "Minute 59-60"
    }
    // and so on
};

myDataGridView.DataSource = data;

If you want sort data before adding to DataGridView use LINQ to sort it

var sortedData = data.OrderBy(item => item.Id).ToArray();

DataGridView will generate rows for every item in the array, and columns for every property in the class MeasureData .
If you want to show only some of the properties, then create columns manually with DataGridViewColumn.DataPropertyName = "NameOfThePropertyYouWantToShow" and remember set DataGridView.AutoGenerateColumns = false , because by default it is true
