Turn a string into a control name

[Web Team]

Hi All,

I have this code, which I am trying not to replicate many times in my
code-behind.

Me.img1.Visible = False
Me.img1UploadButton.Visible = True
Me.pnlImg1Uploader.Visible = True
Me.img1Cancel.Visible = True

I have mulitple controls on the page which do similar things. They are
all named in a consistant manner. e.g: img1, img2, img3...etc. I would
like to call one function to carry out the above code, but I am not
sure how to get the ID into the code. I guess something like this:
me.img+TheID+.Visible = False (Obviously that wont work, but should
give you an idea of what I'm trying to achieve)

Any help/suggestions will be appreciate.

Many Thanks.

You can use the FindControl method as follows:

Private Sub ShowHide(ByVal index As Integer)

CType(Me.FindControl("img" & CStr(index)),
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image).Visible = False

End Sub
The parameter for the FindControl method is a String, which is the ID of the
control you want. It sounds like you can figure everything else out from
here, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Good Luck!
