Ali,

Well, the first thing that pops into my mind is to loop through the Controls collection until you find it. I'm not sure if that's the most efficient way (I'm currently not on my .NET computer to look for other ways).

foreach (Control o in oForm)
{
   if (o is TextBox && o.Name == sObjectName)
   {
      TextBox oTextBox = (TextBox)o;
      // more code or break or return
   }
}
