The class provides more options, we could even be more flexible, that I can show now as I am writing a code sample on this for MSDN. Name = String.Concat(ButtonBaseName, Indexer + 1),ĪddHandler b.Click, Sub(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) ''' Create buttons based on Me.ButtonCountīuttons = Enumerable.Range(0, ButtonCount).Select( Public Sub CreateButtonsFromTable(ByVal sender As DataTable, ByVal Identifier As String, ByVal fieldName As String)įunction(row) New With ') ''' used to set button text and button name ''' and sets the tag of each button from Identifier which would be the primary key of a DataRow.

Very similar to Frank's Public Class Form1

Live as if you were going to die today, learn as if you were going to live forever. Any ideas? or is this totally just ridiculous?
