In VB6, it was possible to create an array of controls (ie. command buttons)
and create them dynamically at runtime. Is there a function that does the
same in .NET or am I missing something blatently obvious?

Thanks,

Hi Gareth,

An advice do not add to existing threads in newsgroup but open a new item.
The original poster will think you are answering to his question.
And now you only get probably an answer only from me because others thinks
it is something about the existing question.

As an answer to you.

An example I made, but this is just one example
\\\\
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim start As Integer = 4
Dim top As Integer = 25
Dim i As Integer
Dim nowdate As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim mybutton(System.DateTime.DaysInMonth _
(nowdate.Year, nowdate.Month)) As Button
For i = 0 To System.DateTime.DaysInMonth _
(nowdate.Year, nowdate.Month) - 1
mybutton(i) = New Button
mybutton(i).TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
mybutton(i).Width = 40
mybutton(i).Height = 20
mybutton(i).FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
mybutton(i).BackColor = Drawing.Color.AntiqueWhite
mybutton(i).Location = New System.Drawing.Point(start, top)
mybutton(i).Text = (i + 1).ToString
mybutton(i).Cursor = Cursors.Hand
Me.Controls.Add(mybutton(i))
AddHandler mybutton(i).Click, AddressOf mybutton_Click
AddHandler mybutton(i).MouseHover, AddressOf mybutton_Hoover
AddHandler mybutton(i).MouseLeave, AddressOf mybutton_Leave
start = start + 40
If (i + 1) Mod 5 = 0 Then
top = top + 20
start = 4
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_Click _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim thisbutton As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
MessageBox.Show("The day is: " & thisbutton.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_Hoover _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim thisbutton As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
thisbutton.BackColor = Drawing.Color.AliceBlue
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_Leave _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim thisbutton As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
thisbutton.BackColor = Drawing.Color.AntiqueWhite
End Sub
////

I hope this helps a little bit?
