I don't know if what I would like to accomplish is possible in VB, but here it is. Lets say my program creates a set of labels at run time. These labels will be named Label_n (n being an index value to uniquely identify the object). Later in my program, I would like to set the text of one of these labels, say Label_4. Is there a way to add a variable as part of another variables reference? I invision this similarly to concatenation like "Label_" + index Thank you in advance for any help or other suggestions.

Jump to PostYou can reference a control dynamically by name by
Dim lbl As Label = Me.Controls("label_" & "2") lbl.Text = "splunge"
