Hi, Keith,

Actually, the thread I referenced covered that. I had always done something like...

 if (oForm.Controls[nCtr]  is TextBox) 
{
	TextBox oText = (TextBox)oForm.Controls[nCtr];
	oText.Text = "test Textbox" + nCtr.ToString().Trim();
}

(Granted, it's C# code, and the question was posted as a VB.NET question)...

Bonnie Berent had read that using 'as' versus 'is' was more efficient, because a conversion was only being done once...

TextBox oText = oForm.Controls[nCtr] as TextBox
if (oText != null)
{
	oText.Text = "test Textbox" + nCtr.ToString().Trim();
}
