Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target is missing

That's true, but only in a limited sense. You cannot group together different TYPES of controls in the same control array. At any rate, it still shouldn't matter. vb.Net still could have had control arrays without conflicting with vb.Nets approach to letting different types of controls exist under the same event. There are always more than one way to skin a cat, and having control arrays in vb.Net would not have been a haphazard thing at all...Just another tool. In fact, it would have made .Net more flexible, powerful and easier to migrate to. AND, there is no reason why control arrays could not have been expanded to INCLUDE different types of controls.
