OK, first's first, .NET control arrays differ very much from that of former VB6, and to be honest, the reason why was that conceptually, a control was something different than a class.
To create a control array in Visual Basic .NET requires that you now change your perception to seeing that everything is just a class.
The following code will help in resolving your issue -- just change the widget for any class that takes you fancy.
Public Class ControlArrayExample
Private _mycollection As System.Collections.ArrayList = New System.Collections.ArrayList()
Public ReadOnly Property Count() As Integer
Get
If (Not _mycollection Is Nothing) Then
Return _mycollection.Count
End If
Return 0
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal Index As Integer) As Widget
Get
If (Index > 0) And (Index <= Me.Count) Then
Return CType(_mycollection.Item(Index - 1), Widget)
End If
Return Nothing
End Get
End Property
Public Sub AddItem(ByVal ValueIn As Widget)
If (Not _mycollection Is Nothing) Then
_mycollection.Add(ValueIn)
End If
End Sub
Public Class Widget
Private _myName As String
Public Property Name() As String
Get
Return _myName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_myName = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal NameIn As String)
Me.Name = NameIn
End Sub
End Class
End Class
Hope that works out for you.
