I have a list of strings that refer to various controls on a form.
They're not all the same type, they are all unique.
How can I say
(Control)String List[0].text = "mytext"
Basically, set the `text` property for the winforms control named
'StringList[0]' to "mytext"

First, get a PropertyInfo object:
Type type = StringList[0].GetType();
PropertyInfo textProperty = type.GetPropert y("Text");
Then set its value:
textProperty.Se tvalue(StringLi st[0], "myText", null);

Sorry, it seems that you have a list of strings, not of controls.
Thereforen of course, you first have to get the control by their name.
You could therefore build a hashtable of all your controls at startup,
with the name as the key of the hashtable; and then you can access
them easily by name using the hashtable.

Thanks.
I was pretty much wondering if such a table was already more or less
existing.
I'm currently iterating through all the controls and checking if the
string is a match to the name. Very inefficient, needless to say.

Would the getControls() method work? I'm not clear on exactly what it
does.

Assuming your form is called "form1":
form1.Controls[StringList[0]].Text = "mytext";
You can also use the ControlCollecti on.Find() method, but I have to admit
that I'm not completely clear on what additional functionality it offers,
if any, over using the ControlCollecti on.Item property (which is what the
above syntax is doing). So I will avoid making any comments about it. :)

I am considering a large project and they currently use LDAP on MS platform.
It would be moved to a LAMP platform. OpenLDAP is an option though I have
not used it before. I do feel fairly confortable with my ability to use
SESSIONS for authentication and access control.
Would it better to learn and use LDAP or can you REALLY have just as secure
authentication and access control using Sessions?
Thanks for your thoughts and experience.
