CType(Sender help

im trying to change the .text property of whatever label is clicked.. to me this makes perfect sense and should run.

Please tell me whats wrong?

Code:

---

Private Sub Label2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label2.Click, Label3.Click, Label4.Click, Label5.Click, Label6.Click, Label7.Click, Label8.Click, Label9.Click, Label10.Click
        With CType(sender, Label).Name
            .text = XOval
        End With
    End Sub

---

Code:

---

CType(sender, Label).Name

---

Think about this line for a second. How does this makes perfect sense? :)

This line should be changed to:

Code:

---

With CType(sender, Label)

Reason being is obvious. In your code you are saying: "With the object reference returned by the 'Name' property of the Label reference returned by the CType cast on the sender object..." - In other words, you are "Withing" a String object reference, which has no "Text" property.

The correction I gave would be described as this: "With the object reference returned by the CType cast on the sender object..." - Which would be correct as it returns a Label object reference which does have a "Text" property.

Hope that helps. Was probably just an oversight on your part.

Yes thanks, im new to .net, so that made perfect sense to me..

I thought what i had returned which label i clicked on, but alas now i understand it does not. Thanks
