Dynamic controls or EVAL statement

[bebandit]

I have an array full of values. I want to assign each value to a label.

Is there any way you could do something like this:

for i=0 to ubound(array)
label(i).text=array(i)
next

Desired Results:
label1.text=43
label2.text=64
label3.text=87
etc.....


Cheers,

Bebandit,

I've done a lot of similar things in my code, ready for the solution I found?

When you create those labels, create them on the fly in code, and assign them to a separate collection. Then you can use the Key value of the collection. See Below:

Public Class MyForm

Private LabelCollection as New Collection

...

   Private Sub MakeLabelControls
      Dim LblTemp As System.Windows.Forms.Label

      For intX = 0 To UBound(MyArray)
         LblTemp = New System.Windows.Forms.Label
         LblTemp.X = ...
         LblTemp.Y = ...
         LblTemp.Text = ""
         Controls.Add(LblTemp) 
         LabelCollection.Add(LblTemp, intX)
      Next

   End Sub


   Private Sub PopulateLabelControls

      For intX = 0 to UBound(MyArray)
          CType(LabelCollection(intX),System.Windows.Forms.Label).Text = MyArray(intX)
      Next

   End Sub
End Class

That's a sparse example, you should be able to conform it to suit your needs.
