Hello all,

Just a quick question ... I used to be able to use indexs in VB 6 to dynamically recreate and item ... but there are no indexs in VB.NET

help !!!

say i have a winsock control .. named ... wSck ... how do i get wSck(0) and wSck(1) and so on...
 
You can still declare
dim wSck(Nbr) as YourClass

but you'll have to create an instance before using each
wSck(i)=new YourClass()

So you don't have indexing at design for windows form controls too but you can achieve the same:
dim myTextBoxes(nbr) as textbox
Visual Basic: 
for i =0 to nbr-1
     myTextBoxes(i) = New Textbox()
     With myTextBoxes(i)
         .height=
         .width=
         .top=
         addhandler...
    End With
next

but how do i replicate a control that is already on the form

at the moment i have a winsock control on the form, with the defaulted parameters...

therefore i would like to make two instances of the control...
 
to my knowledge, the best way to replicate a control by creating a new instance of it and have some init proc set its parameters. wSck(i)=myExistingwSck wouldnt work.
They are many ways to achieve this. Create an inherited class and have its constructor do the job.Then add a new instance to an arraylist, create an array of them,... your choice.......
OR Do as i mentionned earlier if you have to create an array once or..Or..or....there are probably as many ways as programmers..

It's worth mentioning that if this is the old VB6 Winsock control you're talking about, you really shouldn't be using it in .NET - That's what the Socket and TcpClient classes are for.
