Dear Friend,

I am trying to write code as the following-

VB

For Each ControlObject As Control In Me.Controls
    Select Case TypeOf ControlObject

         Case TextBox

         Case ComboBox

         Case Label

    End Select
Next

But it says that "Is expected" after the second line. Is there any technique to do it?

Regards
SKPaul

Solution 1

You should use If Else statement like this

VB

If TypeOf ControlObject Is TextBox Then
ElseIf TypeOf ControlObject Is Button Then
End If

If you want to use Select Case then you can do this as

VB

Select Case True
        Case TypeOf ControlObject Is TextBox
        Case TypeOf ControlObject Is Button
End Select

I see, this is an old post :)
If someone is looking for it, in my case:

Select Case val.GetType
			Case GetType(<yourType>)

		End Select

worked for me :)
