Button properties

[skip2004]

Hi,

In my VB.NET code I am programatically creating a number of buttons. With each button I would also like to store some additonal unique information (such as a DB record key), so when the button is pressed I can retrieve this and use in my code.

In ASP.NET it is possible to create addiotnal object attributes to do this kind of thing - is it possible on a VB.NET form? I don't seem to be able to find anything.

I would also like to store some additonal information with textboxes as well.

Many thanks,

Well, if there's not a large amount of information you could use the Tag property to store a delimited list of the property values.

Or, you could subclass the button class and add your custom properties that way.
