Array of Class

[Max André Bündchen]

Hi,

I must design a method that receive a Control object and return a single
value if it is a TextBox object, another value if it is a ComboBox object
and so on.

If I try a "if-else-if" loop, this will be very unhappy! Can I use a foreach
to make that? How declare and create the array for use in the operator "is"
(for test a Control, like "cont is TextBox")?

Thanks,

Max

If you want to enumerate the controls on a form, you can do this. I guess
this would be easy to change to accept a control as a parameter and evaluate
it.

Dim c As Control

For Each c In Me.Controls

If c.GetType.ToString = "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox" Then

Debug.Write("It's a button!!")

End If

Debug.Write(c.GetType.ToString)

Next

you could do this by overloading your method.

public string MyMethod(Button bc)
{
return "Button";
}
public string MyMethod(TextBox tb)
{
return "TextBox";
}

This is one of the easiest ways to do this.
