duplicate labels

[stephena]

I am new to .net on VB six if you copied and pasted for example label1 it would create label1(0) and label1(1). Not so in VB.net which is causing me a big headache.

I am creating a random number from 1-90 and if number 10 for example was the random number i am changing the contents of label10.text to "x".

I do this so that i can when generating the next random number say whever or not that number has already been drawn.

In VB6 i was able to say if Label1(RandomNumber).text="x" however in .net i have had to have a label1,abel2,label3 etc. and so the above code will not work. I hope this makes sense it should be fairly simple!!!!

Hi
Every form has a collection of controls...

        Dim c As Control
        For Each c In Me.Controls
            If c.GetType.ToString = "System.Windows.Forms.Label" Then
                Select Case c.Name
                    Case "Label1"
                        c.Text = "hello"
                End Select

                '' do something
            End If
        Next
