Board index » Visual Studio » .NET Option Array?

Visual Studio232
Hi,



I currently use VB6 in work but I have obtained a copy of Visual Studio.NET

2003 which I have loaded on my machine @ home just so I can have a play

around and see what differences there are. I have noticed that in .NET you

cannot name a control or label the same, this is obviously different from

VB6 where if you name a control the same as another it ask's if you want to

create a control array. Was wondering how you create a control array in

.NET.



Would appreciate some tips.



Thank you



Damon

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get

a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups

devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the

word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.



For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...



microsoft.public.dotnet.general

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

microsoft.public.vsnet.general



For the news.devx.com news server, try these



vb.dotnet.discussion

vb.dotnet.technical



There are some others, but these should get you started.

As rick said, see another group for dotnet questions. But FYI .net does not

provide for control arrays in the current version. Next version ... who

knows?

After claiming that control arrays are Evil, Bad, and Wrong?

But then, once upon a time, they also claimed that implementation

inheritance was "not appropriate" for "component software" like

Visual Basic code...
