sul seguente codice ottrenco l'errore nullReferenceException: Riferimento a un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di oggetto.
codice:
 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        TableLayoutPanel1.ColumnCount = 5
        TableLayoutPanel1.RowCount = 2
        Dim a As New System.Drawing.Point
        Dim ar() As System.Drawing.Point
        For i = 1 To 10

            Dim textA As New TextBox

            textA.Name = "text" & i
            textA.Margin = New Padding(0, 0, 0, 0)
            textA.ReadOnly = True
            a = textA.Bounds.Location
            ar(i) = a         ' <--------------------qui ottengo l'errore----<<

            textA.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
            TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(textA)
            TableLayoutPanel1.SetColumn(textA, i)

            TableLayoutPanel1.AutoSize = True
        Next
    End Sub
come posso risolvere?
