Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim numtoDisturbute As String
        numtoDisturbute = Trim(txtSource.Text)
        If numtoDisturbute.Length = 0 Then Exit Sub
        Dim arr As New List(Of String)

        For Each Cha As Char In numtoDisturbute
            arr.Add(Cha)
        Next

        For i As Integer = 0 To arr.Count - 1
            Dim text As String = arr.Item(i)
            Select Case i
                Case 0
                    TextBox1.Text = text
                Case 1
                    TextBox2.Text = text
                Case 2
                    TextBox3.Text = text
                Case 3
                    TextBox4.Text = text


            End Select

        Next

    End Sub

Simple way:

Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
	Dim item As String = txtbuttons.text
	Dim tbs As TextBox() = {txtAns, txtAns2, txtAns3, txtAns4, txtAns5}
	For i As Integer = 0 To item.Length - 1
		tbs(i).Text = item(i).ToString()
	Next
End Sub

but what if user enters one extra digit? Will it handle the outof range exception?
