You can get all the controls on a form by calling this.Controls and loop through those comparing the control to a TextBox, when it is a TextBox you add the value to the array you are mentioning.

I'd use something like this:

List<string> values = new List<string>();
foreach(Control c in this.Controls)
{
    if(c is TextBox)
    {
        /*I didnt need to cast in my intellisense, but just in case!*/
        TextBox tb = (TextBox)c;
        values.Add(tb.Text);
    }
 }
 string[] array = values.ToArray();

Control doesn't have a Text property, I think you need to use as instead of is and check for != null.

Well, i typed it in VS2005 real quick and intellisense said it had .Text property... i was suprised aswell to be honest. I'll edit in the line needed to fix it!

What exactly didn't work? I edited in a cast as Graham commented. Please try with this cast.
