for instance:
dim testlabel as label
dim a as string = "test"
dim b as string = "label"
'what is the line I need here? a & b.text = "hello world"

I have names of all labels in a table of an Access database (one field is a form name- it can be repeated, the second field is a label name - it must be unique for the same form, the third field is a text of this label). E.g. the first record has field1="Form1", field2="Label1", field3="Smith" My question: How can I refer to a label programmatically using the Access database? E.g. Form1.Label1.Text= "Smith" In C languge there was the opportunity "remove the quotation marks" from the text ("Label1") and get the literal (Label1). Is this opportunity in VB.NET?

How do I refer to a form in my project by using a string variable? I'm running Visual Studio 2008.My main screen has a number of dropdown menus that, when an item is selected, a form will open:
Dim Mdi_frm_Doors As New frm_Doors Mdi_frm_Doors.MdiParent =Mdi_frm_Doors.Show()In this example, I am providing the name of the form directly (frm_Doors). What I would like to do is refer to the form as a string variable.I'm already doing something similar to access specific controls on other open forms (where str_Field is the name of the control I am accessing):

Is there a way to reference an object by using the value of a string read from a text file? Here's an example of what I mean: I have a user control called 'Fish', one called 'Cats', and one called 'Dogs' and so on.... I have a text file containing this line, amongst many others in a long script written after compile time by the user:

I have a label testlabel. is there some way I can refer to it as:
dim t as string = "testlabel"
(something here referring to the OBJECT with the same name as the string).text = "mytext"
? I have 50 labels with text to change and would love to be able to:
for i = 1 to 50
dim t as string = "testlabel" & i
convertsomehow(t, label).text = "mytext"
next
so that this would change testlabel1, testlabel2, testlabel3, ... , testlabel50.

I have lots of labels that I need to refer to.
E.g. label1 = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring & "123"
label2 = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring & "123"
I have 20 labels which i need to repeat the same process for. What I found was this code which always gives me the null reference error.
CType(Me.Controls("Label" & i), Label).Text = "what i want here"
I have stated dim i as integer = 1
And later i = i + 1 until it is 20.
I've tried i.tostring and cstr(i) when referring to it but it keeps saying it doesn't exists even though i have labels 1 to 20 named label1, label2 etc. on my Form.

numberofchar = timefull.Length
If timefull = "" Then
Else
If numberofchar = 11 Then
timefull = timefull.Remove(2, 9) ' isolate the hour depends on number of digits in hour parameter
Else
timefull = timefull.Remove(1, 9)

This is my code, it doesn't work when I copy into form load. But when I try it in another form, it works. Index and count must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: count

why this error happens with a bit of code i was trying? The code is actually intended to be for an onclick event, so it actually works there.
But im just curious as to why it errors as an onchange event. This is 9am pre-caffeine, so the reason is probably starring me in the face! On a form i have a text box, and a combo box. The combo box has various options in it, natch. Its a search form, which then fills a gridview with the results.
Drop down list options are: home number, mobile number, post code, Name, DOB
I thought id try and be "clever" and do away with the need for the combo box. Since a mobile number begins with "07", names are just characters, postcodes are character character number, and home number is all numbers and doesent begin with "07", and date of birth has /'s in it.
So i tried this to test the idea:
Private Sub AppSearchTB_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AppSearchTB.TextChanged
Dim TLength As Integer = 2

I am trying to get the first 50 letters, so I used the subString function to get it. As you can see, I used this code to get it:
<%# Eval("BannerDescription").ToString.Substring(1, 50)%>
But unfortunately it's not working and an error message is coming up:
Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
Because the user is the one who is controlling the data entry! Some times he gonna enter 10 letters other times maybe 1000 letter?
I tried them all but can we use it this way :
<%# IIf(Eval("BannerDescription").ToString().Length > 49, Eval("BannerDescription").ToString().Substring(0, 49), Eval("BannerDescription"))%>

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.

HI, using vs2008 and building a web app. On a asp page called blackjack.aspx, I have four labels with id of lbBJTStatusP1 lbBJTStatusP2 lbBJTStatusP3 lbBJTStatusP4.
I want to address those labels in a single sub by casting the casting two strings into the control name, so that string lbBJTStatusP & "1" would refer to lbBJTStatusP1.This is done on the code behind page.
So far I have tried this but with no success. boxct refers to either "1" "2" "3" or "4".[code]...

I'm creating a Calendar. I want to put Text in the date, but the day is not always the same as the Label name. So, in this case Label27 is actually the 25th of Christmas.At first I have to decide which label. Which I can do. now I need to know how to input text into it. In essence I want to do:
Label27.text = "Christmas"
But, I don't have the Label27, I need to calculate it. Since I know Christmas is 25 and I know that the month starts on the 3 day of the week, I assign:
Att1 = 3(first day of the week of december 2009)
Dim Att3 As String
Dim Att4 As String

Then add my stringtoUse to my control. So that on my control I have two words Hello which when clicked goes to my hyperlink and World which when clicked calls my function/sub.

Using VB.NET 2003 Asp.Net 1.1. I'm data binding to a label in a grid and need to knock off the last two chars, not so easy as I thought.
I know this is wrong it just shows how I'm coding:
Code:
<div id=CODE>Private Sub TemplateControl_DataBinding_Label(ByVal sender
As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs)
Dim lc As Label
Dim sColumnName As
String = ""
[Code] .....
One problem is what I want to achieve:
I want to have:
$123.00
$15.00
$1,000.00
$123.50
$45.78
My data comes back with 4 places on the end
123.0000
15.0000
45.7800
35.9000
The $ sign I have in my code does work
so I have"
$123.0000
$15.5000
and so on.
I don't believe there will ever be a point where the last two are anything other than zeros.
