C# name from string [duplicate]

Question

I can't find information about this. I need to make a lot of items, and it looks like this:

Bar01.Value = data[0];
Bar02.Value = data[1];
Bar03.Value = data[2];
Bar04.Value = data[3];
Bar05.Value = data[4];
Bar06.Value = data[5];
...
Bar99999.Value = data[99998]
etc.

Is there a way to make a string for it like

for(int i=0;i<max;i++)
string s = "Bar"+i;
//do stuff

So that it would be shorter ?

so, you can use Dictionary. But why you want to copy it form array? — BWA

There is usually never a goood reason to instantiate a ridiculously large collection in memory. Better to create a Factory type that can return a specific item on request (based on some TBD parameters). As the question stands now what you are actually trying to accomplish is not very clear. — Igor

You can use Dictionary in this way:

Dictionary<string, int> dict = new Dictionary<string, int>();
for(int i=0;i<max;i++)
{
    dict["Bar" + i] = data[i];
}
