Option Strict On -help

[carlin smith via .NET 247]

I have an option strict on problem.

i am using the event for 1 button to be the event for several others, kind of like indexes in vb6.

it looks something like this:
*****
Private Sub btnNum0_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNum0.Click, btnNum1.Click

if sender.tag = "1" then blah blah blah
*****

with strict off it works fine
with strict on it says "option strict on disallows late binding" with the squigly line under sender.text.

this was microsofts solution to trying to do "indexes" or arrays with controls for vb.net. is there a way to get this to work or a better way to reference the controls or get around the control array thing?

Tag is an Object. You are comparing it to a string. That's why it doesn't
work.

Option Strict forces you to think about the types of your variables and
properties. If Tag was not assigned a string, this comparison would result
in an error. This way it is caught at run time.

Dim SourceControl As Control = DirectCast(sender, Control)
If SourceControl.Tag = "1" Then
...
End If

Carlin

if sender.tag = "1" then blah blah blah
if Directcast(sender,Control).tag.ToString = "1" then blah blah blah

Or much nicer

Select Case DirectCast(sender,Control).Tag
Case "1"
bla bla bla
Case "2"

Else

End Select

I hope this helps?
