It depends what kind of multi-dimensional array. There are multi-dimensional arrays and jagged arrays. The former is declared like this:

TextBox[,] boxes = new TextBox[,] {{textBox1, textBox1},
{textBox1, textBox2}, {textBox2, textBox2}};

These types of arrays have fixed dimensions and sizes. Jaggaed arrays' elements are arrays themselves, like this:

TextBox[][] boxes = new TextBox[] {
new TextBox[] {textBox1, textBox1},
new TextBox[] {textBox1, textBox2},
new TextBox[] {textBox2, textBox2},
new TextBox[] {textBox1},
new TextBox[] {textBox2}};

As you can see, these can have different dimensions and sizes. You can find more information by reading about Arrays[^] in the Visual C# language documentation.
