I have a few text boxes on my form (txt1, txt2, txt3...) and would like to assign values to them based on the index. I not sure how to describe but Something similiar to the following:
dim i as integer = 30
For n As Integer = 1 To i
[txt] & i.text = MyText" & i

I'm new to VB (and .net), just started taking an introductory class. One of the things we've done is set up a little form that does basic math. It looks something like this:
Code:
[txt1] = [txt1mod1] + [txt1mod2] [btn1]
[txt2] = [txt2mod1] - [txt2mod2] [btn2]
[txt3] = [txt3mod1] * [txt3mod2] [btn3]
[txt4] = [txt4mod1] / [txt4mod2] [btn4]
When you click btn1, it adds the values txt1mod1 and txt1mod2 and displays the answer in txt1. The same happens for buttons 2, 3, 4 on their respective lines. So the way we handle this is to have four subprocedures that handle the button clicks, one for each button. I was thinking it would make more sense to have one function handle all of the button clicks, since it's basically the same thing. Through my own research I've learned you can have multiple events call one procedure like so:
Private Sub btn1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn1.Click, btn2.Click, btn3.Click, btn4.Click
'stuff
End Sub
But how do I determine which of the four buttons was clicked, and which text box values the user cares about? Then after doing so, how do I reference the relevant controls (txt[x]mod1, txt[x]mod2, txt[x])?
Code:
Dim b As Button = CType(sender, Button)
Dim t As String = b.Tag.ToString
But it gets a little fuzzy after that because I can't figure out how to reference the controls using the tags. I don't even know if I'm going down the right path. I can, for example, set some string to
Code:
strBox1 = String.Concat("txt",t,"mod1") 'string is "txt1mod1" for example
but trying to reference the control
Code:
...strBox1.Text...
gives me errors that, "Text is not a member of String."
Well, I don't know if this is correct or not, but it seems to work if I use "Controls()":
Code:
'if t = 1
Dim a As String = Controls(String.Concat("txt",t,"mod1")).Text 'value of txt1mod1
Dim b As String = Controls(String.Concat("txt",t,"mod1")).Text 'value of txt1mod2
Dim s As Integer = CInt(a) + CInt(b) 'im actually determing the operand elsewhere
Controls(String.Concat("txt",t)).Text = s.ToString
I'm writing a program that inserts controls onto a webform dynamically. Depending on a variable, I add either a textbox, a set of radio buttons, or a set of checkboxes. Later, after a user clicks a submit button I need to use the controls to determine if the user is submitting the correct answer, but when I try to reference the id of a control, I get "txtAnser is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to it's protections level. Here is the .aspx page (it's the standard content page of a master page):

I'm trying to add a custom panel to my toolbox using a dll file, but when I add it as a reference it only appears as greyed out - and this is only after I click "Show All" in the toolbox.Everything builds fine in the Class Library project I used to create the custom control. Here is the simple
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class pnDoubleBuffered
Inherits Windows.Forms.Panel
Public Sub New()
[code]....
I build the project, open my main project where I want to use the control. Then I click "Choose All" from the toolbox and add the reference using ".NET Frameworks Components". I find my dll file and click OK. Then nothing is added to the toolbox. I manage to see the control greyed out when I click the "Show All" option.
how to go about adding a reference to an assembly at run time? I am writing a vb.net (2008) program that will send email via Outlook. But at compile time I do not know which version of Outlook the user will be using - Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010.
How do I add a reference at runtime which will a) satisfy this condition and b) allow me to compile the program? If I do not have a reference at compile time then my Outlook code will fail
I've got a class where I pass in a panel reference and in that panel I'm then required to draw multiple other panels that represent my objects. The issue is that when I go to bind dynamically click events to these panels I don't have reference to the Form of which I want to popup on the click event.
The reason for this structure is so that I can redraw my class dynamically and reattach certain events to each object.
Is there any way to do this without moving my classes logic outside of the Assembly or is there any way to attach my click event to a piece of code logic to a sub in my WinForm?

View 3 RepliesI have a UserControl.ascx which essentially outputs the Name and Email of the user currently logged in (stored in session variables, for the record) at the top of every page on my website. Said control is currently called by Site.Master using <%Html.RenderPartial("UserControl")%>.
It works fine when I log in for the first time and my details are displayed correctly, but when I log out and try to log in again something strange happens...
The Control itself tests the condition Session("auth"), which my controller sets to true upon authenticating a user and which it forces to false when the logout button is pressed. All session variables are cleared upon logging out.
(For the record, my user control used to check Request.IsAuthenticated rather than Session("auth") to determine the current Session State. The same issue arised.)
The problem is that when I try to log in as a different user, instead of showing the new user's information in the header, nothing appears beside Name: and Email: (see code below). I suspect this is because UserControl.ascx is not updating its state.
Ideally, I'd like a solution which would force UserControl to check Session variables every time a page is loaded. Is there a clean way to achieve this?

I've been working at this for hours, and I'm completely stumped. There may be a more elegant way to do what I want, but I can't find it in my reference books or online. I have a form that has 64 labels corresponding to 64 unique locations on a map. Each of the labels contains one character, a ●. The program determines, randomly, if these is something in those locations.'m using a For... next loop to step through each location and determine if there is something there.My question is how do I turn off the label in the form without resorting to some 64 choice Select Case statement (or something similar).

Now the situation is, that in most cases it works fine. But a few of my customers report that the TextBox not appears on their dialog - it's not there! That's all, nothing more to say.hints or reports about known pitfalls with dynamically created controls which could explain this (sometimes) strange behavior and how I could fix it (I have to create this control dynamically due to some reasons).
BTW: The program is built with Visual Basic 2005. And the customers with trouble are spread about the OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
