From a Web form, in the Page_Load() event, I am calling a method and passing Me as a parameter. Within that method, what should I do in order to obtain strong type whenever I will use the parameter received?

For example, this is the method:

    Public Function AddMessage(ByVal toPage As Object) As Boolean
        toPage.ClaimInfo = "Something"
        Return True
    End Function

In the page, I have a label ID ClaimInfo. However, when I type toPage, it is not strong type.

In order to have the proper definition at the declaration, I did this:

    Public Function AddMessage(ByVal toPage As System.Web.UI.Page) As Boolean
        toPage.ClaimInfo = "Something"
        Return True
    End Function

But, doing this makes toPage to generate a design time error.
