How to find is linkLabel is clicked?

Question

This is some method that accept Dictonary.

 public void Display(Dictionary<string, string> feeds)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
            {
                int x = i + 1;
                string numberOfLable = "linkLabel" + x;
                var l = Controls.Find(numberOfLable, true).First() as LinkLabel;
                string text = feeds.ElementAt(i).Key;
                l.Text = text;


                //TO DO add click event for link label
                //that display value from Dictionary
            }

        }

How to add code that if linkLabel[i] is clicked, in textBox will show value of dictionary?

Why do you need to add the click even in this method, like what are you ultimately trying to do? Why arent you iterating over your dictionary with a foreach? What happens when the Dictionary has more/less than 5 keys? — maccettura, Nov 20 '17 at 18:42
I use for because i need to access the label name from it, i can't do with for loop. I don't know how to access the label without foor loop. I want to do that here becuse, i need that dictionary value to set to textbox if some of labels are clicked. Can you help me — Marija Magdalena, Nov 20 '17 at 19:13

To link a link label to event, simply

l.LinkClicked += new System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventHandler(LinkLabelClicked);

The LinkLabelClicked code looks something like this

private void LinkLabelClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
    LinkLabel label = sender as LinkLabel;
    string key = label.Text;
    if (feeds.TryGetValue(key, out string value))
    {
        myTextBox.Text = value;
    }
    else
    {
        //do something to complain about the error
    }
}
