title: Looping though elements in vb.net
body: <p>Is there a way I can loop though multiple elements with number based names, changing their properties?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here are an example set of elements on my form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Element1
  Element2
  Element3
  Element4
  Element5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the kind of thing i was thinking of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>For i = 1 To 5
      Element + i .BackColor = Color.Maroon 
  Next
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is just because I have a large number of elements, which i would like to change the properties of during the application running.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any answers.</p>
