i want to make a variable can be used in .caption, so i can get the value and used it to make something.

last experiment, i use it in foxpro and it can work pretty well. like this.

foxpro code mix variable with system

tmbl = "command"+alltrim(str(i)) set order to no_room seek (thisform.pageframe1.page1.&tmbl..caption

see the &tmbl.?? im using it as a connector to .caption

now im trying to do it in VB.NET. it can not work. i don't know what kind connector must be use in VB.NET. so can somebody please tell what must to use in VB.NET?

You can simply use controls collection to find the control you want (and even in VFP it is the way to go, instead of abusing the & operator). Say you want to do this for a label, in C# it looks like:

var label = this.Controls.OfType<Label>()
      .SingleOrDefault(c => c.Name == "command" + i);

if (label != null)
{
   label.Text = "Whatever";
}

Telerik code converter converts this to VB.Net as:

Dim label = Me.Controls.OfType(Of Label)().SingleOrDefault(Function(c) c.Name = "command" + i)

If label IsNot Nothing Then
    label.Text = "Whatever"
End If
