I have a statement that I want to make dynamic.

lblFundSource2.Visible = True

I want to be able to substitute a variable for the "2". I have done this previously in Javascript with the eval() function.
Something like: eval("lblFundSource" + myInt + ".Visible") = True; where myInt = 2.

Is there an equivalent in .NET?

Thanks in advance for your comments

I found the answer if anyone wants to know--

The FindControl() function was the answer.

dim myLabel as Label = FindControl("lblFundSource" & myInt)
myLabel.visible = True

Be aware that FindControl returns a generic Control, not directly the type of control you're expecting.

So, in your case since the Visible property is defined in the parent class Control, you have no problems. If, for example, you would have tried to set the Text (as defined in the Label "child", and not in the parent "Control"), you have to cast it first:

Dim myLabel As Label = CType(FindControl("lblFundSource" & myInt), Label)
myLabel.Visible = True
