Checkbox Array

Please help, ugh

I recently converted from VB6.0 to .Net 2005 and quickly realized control arrays are no longer used. In my larger project I create 50 check boxes on form load and want to take action on a check changed event when a user selects one of the check boxes.
Can someone please let me know how to reference the checkboxes once they're created.

Here is s simplified version of my code

Thank you


Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim CheckBox As New CheckBox()


CheckBox.Text = "Checkbox1"
CheckBox.Location = New Point(100, 50)
CheckBox.Size = New Size(95, 45)
Me.Controls.Add(CheckBox)


End Sub

you can use an array to reference your checkboxes:

vb Code:

dim checkboxes(49) as checkbox
 
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
    for x as integer = 0 to 49
        checkboxes(x) = New CheckBox
        checkboxes(x).Text = "Checkbox" & (x + 1).tostring
        checkboxes(x).Location = 'etc
        checkboxes(x).Size = 'etc
        Me.Controls.Add(checkboxes(x))
    next
 
End Sub

It's true that you can store the checkboxes in an array, but since you still need to add code for handling the CheckedChanged event and you always get a reference to the sender object in an event this is actually not necassary.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    For i As Integer = 0 to 49
      Dim checkBox As New CheckBox
      'checkBox.Size = 'blah blah....
      Me.Controls.Add(checkBox)
      AddHandler checkBox.CheckedChanged, AddressOf CheckBox_CheckedChanged
    Next
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    Dim checkBox As CheckBox = CType(sender, CheckBox)
    'Now you have a reference to the checkbox that was just checked.
End Sub
