Controls Problem

[Gigaworld]

I have this PROBLEM with controls collection:

The old VB 6.0 syntax was:

MyStr = me.controls("button1").text

VB .NET doesn't function in this way, because in .NET
I must know the index of the control! I need to use the
STRING NAME of the control to address the object, because
my target is doing something like this:
for i = 1 to 10
MyStr(i) = me.controls("button" & i ).text
next i
if I use this:

MyStr = me.controls(IndexOf(button1)).text

I have again the same problem: cannot use the STRING NAME
of the object!

[Supra]

u used this ....

MyStr(i) = me.controls.text.substring("blah" & i) or u can used tostring(..)
or u can do stringbuilder.
kindly read book. recommended microsoft press book. or search in google

index is no longer in vb.net.
regards

Dim found as Boolean = False
Dim c as Control
For each c in form.controls

if c.name="YourControlName" Then
Found=true
Exit Next
End IF

Next

If Found then ' c point to your control so . . .

'..... Do Stuff ......

End If

Dim myStr As String
Dim myControl As Control
For Each myControl In Me.Controls
If TypeOf myControl Is Button AndAlso myControl.Name = "button1" Then
myStr = myControl.Text
Exit For
End If
Next
