Looping through controls

[JGresko]

I have a page that has two groups of 12 identical controls that use the following naming convention

ctrl1_1, ctrl1_2, ctrl1_3, etc.      and 
ctrl2_1, ctrl2_2, ctrl2_3, etc.

I need to loop through them, inserting their values into a database, when the user presses the submit button.

I'm trying to find a way to do it without hardcoding a reference to each control separately...

Something equivalent to

for i = 0 to 11
get value of ctrl1_i
get value of ctrl2_i
next

OR

for i = 0 to 11
get value of ctrl1(i)
get value of ctrl2(i)
next

Since ASP.Net doesn't have control arrays or dynamic variables, does anyone know a way to do this?

Thanks,
Judy
