[RESOLVED] how to parameter the name of the property of a variable

[jmcilhinney]

I would suggest not using the names like that. Store the controls in a Dictionary keyed on the suffix:

Dim myDictionary As New Dictionary(Of String, TextBox)
 
myDictionary.Add("EN", Me.txtKeywordEN)
myDictionary.Add("FR", Me.txtKeywordFR)
myDictionary.Add("ES", Me.txtKeywordES)

You can then simply do this:

lstKeyWords.Items.Add(myDictionary(CStr(drpDefaultLanguage.SelectedValue)).Text)
