"with" equivalent in C# 1

[stillinlife101]

In VB the keyword "With" is used as such:

with TextBox1
.Text = "hi"

or something like that (it's been a while). Is there an equivalent in c#?

Incidentally: this is inside a procedure, so what we have is:

public void DrawGrid(frmMain FormReference)
{
FormReference.ThisFunction(params);
FormReference.ThisFunction(otherparams);
FormReference.OtherFunction(params);
}

What I want to do is

public void DrawGrid(frmMain FormReference)
{
with FormReference
{
ThisFunction(params);
ThisFunction(otherparams);
OtherFunction(params);
}
}

Or something ot that effect.

No, but is simple enough to at least shorten the name.

TextBox t = TextBox1;
t.Text = "hi";

Will that create another variable or will it just be a reference to the original?

Sure it creates a variable BUT not another instance. You would have to use New to create another instance.

public void DrawGrid(frmMain FormReference)
{
f frmMain = FormReference; // get shorter name
f.ThisFunction(params);
f.ThisFunction(otherparams);
f.OtherFunction(params);
}

Thanks, that makes sense.

Thanks
and
f frmMain = FormReference; // get shorter name
should be
frmMain f = FormReference; // get shorter name
but I'm sure you got that.
