CType question

[tailz]

I've been a good boy and have Option Strict = on. However I've now run into a snag.

I need to access a property from a dynamically added user-control, normally I would use something like

CType(usrControl,usrControlType).Property = Value

Problem is, in the bit of code I need to do this, I do not know what type of control I am accessing.

Is there I way I can get the type for use with CType? I've tried a couple of ideas but no success yet.

thanks

Use reflection

Can you briefly explain what reflection is please?

[DevGrp]

Reflection is the ability to get an objects type, methods and members at runtime. Thats how intellisense is implemented. It is a powerful feature. You can even create a new exe or dll at runtime.

I've worked around my problem but I deffo think I'll look into reflection. I found some good stuff from searching with google but it all seemed far too much for the 'simple' result I want.

Still, thanks for your help
