[RESOLVED] ArrayList returns boolean instead of PictureBox object

[kevin_10987]

Dim pic2 As PictureBox
                pic2 = snake.Item(0)
                If pic2.Location.Y = picFood.Location.Y Then
                    'move food to new location
                    RandomFoodLocation()
                    'add length to snake
                    snake.Add(New PictureBox().Location = New Point(pic2.Location.X, pic2.Location.Y + (growth + 17)))
                    growth += 17
                End If

The pic2 = snake.item(0) is causing problems. The compiler says that snake.item(0) is returning a boolean value of false. But it the item(0) should be a picturebox.

I thought I forgot to add the first ball to the arraylist, but I checked and it gets added on form_load sub procedure.

Private Sub frmSnakeGame_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        snake.Add(picBall)
        RandomFoodLocation()
    End Sub
