hi,

is it possible in VB.NET variable contains variable.
sorry for my english, here i try to give u an example.
i have 2 classes called clsMsSQL and clsOracle. i
wanna make an object from one of it within a function.

function makeObject(byval strClass as string) as
object
   ' the following strClass should represent
   ' either "clsMsSQL" or "clsOracle"

   dim objDB as new strClass
   return objDB
end function


this function is called like this...

dim objDB as object = makeObject("clsMsSQL")


how should i write the function?
i can be done in PHP but i guess there must be a way
to do it in VB.NET as well.



thanx in advance

Write a static function which will take an argument which says which object to return then return object of that class, to return that you can define a Interface and implement "clsMsSQL and clsOracle" in these classes.



It is not how much we do,
but how much love we put in the doing.

that's it. thanx pradeep, really appreciate it :)

btw, i have another problem. is it possible to declare a variable which has name based on iteration?
this can be done in PHP. here a simpe php script:

i'm pretty sure that .net has its way to do it. i cannot use an array because these variables will be used in web form control.

thanx
