Hi,

In my infinite search to reduce the number of lines of code I write, I =
have a
problem. Consider the following situation, where I have 5 panels, names =
panelX,
with X=3D1 to 5.=20
I want to change the Visible property of each of them to true, using a =
loop.

I've invented a mythical GetObject(string objectName) function, which =
returns
a reference to the object specified by the string.

Initially, it smacks of things you can't do in compiled languages, but =
the
Reflection classes have a lot of similar functionality.=20

I'm thinking my GetObject function would be some convolution of the
Type.InvokeMember() function, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Any help would be gratefully received.

My Code:

In a web application you can use the Page.FindControl method to return a
refernece to a control by name

Dim MyControl as System.Web.Ui.Control
MyControl = Page.FindControl("Panel1")

You could probably do something like:

Dim x as integer
Dim MyControl as System.Web.Ui.Control
For x = 1 to 5
MyControl = Page.FindControl( New String( "Panel" & x ) )
MyControl.Visible = False
Next
