how do i take multiple user inputs from 1 texbox using array like the code i wrote in console. As i am new to programming, i have searched for hours and i can't find anything.

What I have tried:

int i;
int size = 2;
string[] name = new string [size];
string[] age = new string[size];

Console.WriteLine(" **Enter name and age to find your record** ");

for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter Name: ");
name[i] = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("Enter Age: ");
age[i] = Console.ReadLine();

}

Console.WriteLine("Enter name or age to find record:");
string find = Console.ReadLine();

for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{

if (find == name[i])
{
Console.WriteLine("Name : " + name[i] + " Age : " + age[i]);

i++;
}

else if (find == age[i])
{

Console.WriteLine("Age :" + age[i] + " Name : " + name[i]);
i++;

}

That's not how Windows applications usually work. You present a textbox for each input, and let the user complete them in whatever order they like.

i know, but what if you take inputs from textbox after a button is clicked. 1st time the button is clicked, that's your first input, second time the button is clicked that's your second input and so on ??

 static   Dictionary<int, string> nameage = new Dictionary<int, string>();

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
           
            Console.WriteLine("enter number records do u need");
            int records = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            for (int i = 0; i < records; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Enter name and age");
                Console.WriteLine("Name  :");
                string name = Convert.ToString(Console.ReadLine());
                Console.WriteLine("Age :");
                int age = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                nameage.Add(age, name);
            }
            switchcase();
            Console.WriteLine("do you want check it again if yes enter 1 else enter 2");
            int a =Convert.ToInt16( Console.ReadLine());
            if (a == 1)
            {
                switchcase();
            }

public static void switchcase()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("do u want to enter name select 1 else select 2");
            int select = Convert.ToInt16(Console.ReadLine());

                    foreach(KeyValuePair<int,string> d in nameage)

                        }
                    }

                    break;
                case 2:
                    Console.WriteLine("enter the age you want to search");
                   int age = Convert.ToInt16(Console.ReadLine());
                    foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> d in nameage)
