Use a String As Object Name

Anonymous User 1941 11-Jun-2013

Hi Developers,

How can I change a picture box's image when I only have a string that has the name of the picture box. (it probably doesn't really matter that it's a picture box or that I am changing it's image)

For example:

"picturebox1".image = myimage

how would I get this to actually set an image for picturebox1?

Any help on above is really appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

Used CType in place of DirectCast and write following line of code


Dim pb As PictureBox = DirectCast(Me.Controls.Find("picturebox1", True).FirstOrDefault(),  PictureBox)
If pb IsNot Nothing Then
    pb.Image = myimage
End If
