Answer 1

You may create your controls programmatically and make an array:

var combos = Enumerable.Range(0,100)
.Select((x, i) => new ComboBox {Name = $"TypeComboBox{i}", Visible = false, ...})
.ToArray();

or you may just get controls by name:

ComboBox GetCombo(int index)
{
    var name = "TypeComboBox" + index.ToString().PadLeft('0',2); 
    var combo = this.Controls[name];
    return combo;
}

it is also possible to assign your existing controls to an array:

var combos = parent.Controls.OfType<ComboBox>()
             .OrderBy(c => c.Name)
             .ToArray();  //parent can be your form or whatever 
                          //control that contains your comboboxes
