I am looking for a way to check the state of several different checkboxes without having to write the same code over and over with differen name.checked = true

IE: I want to reduce the code

Private Sub chk_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e_
As System.EventArgs) Handles chk.Click

if name1.checked = True then msgbox("1 is checked")
if name2.checked = True then msgbox("2 is checked")
if name3.checked = True then msgbox("3 is checked")
ect.. up to 6

End Sub

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Steve
