Must be something obvious...

I have a snippet of code that is not working... It was outside of a for loop and worked when I addressed the labels and textboxes individually. Now (inside the for loop) it can't seem to "find" the labels or textboxes....

Error Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

For i = New Int16 To m_Dataset.Tables("tblCorners").Rows.Count - 1
            [COLOR=green]''LABEL ATTRIBUTES[/color]
            Me.Controls("lblCorner" & i).Enabled = True
            Me.Controls("lblCorner" & i).Visible = True
            Me.Controls("lblCorner" & i).Text = m_Dataset.Tables("tblCorners").Rows(i)(0).ToString
            [COLOR=green]'TEXTBOX ATTRIBUTES[/color]
            Me.Controls("txtCorner" & i).Enabled = True
            Me.Controls("txtCorner" & i).Visible = True
            Me.Controls("txtCorner" & i).Text = FormatCurrency(m_Dataset.Tables("CornerNum" & i).Rows(0)(0), 2, TriState.False, TriState.False, TriState.True)
            dblTemp += Me.Controls("txtCorner" & i).Text
        Next

Any help diagnosing this would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think this will help, but change this line

For i = New Int16 To m_Dataset.Tables("tblCorners").Rows.Count - 1

to

For i As Integer = 0 To  m_Dataset.Tables("tblCorners").Rows.Count - 1

Honestly, I think you may have more rows in your DataTable than you have groups of controls. Do any of the iterations work? Or is it erring on the first iteration?

Thanks RiverGuy - it's erring on the first iteration -- 0

I have the labels named lblCorner0, lblCorner1 ....to 7
Same with the textboxes.

The can be successfully addressed by using this code:
Me.lblCorner0.Visible = True

I changed the code as you suggested and still no joy.

If the controls are in another control, such as a panel, you can access them like the following:

Panel1.Controls("lblCorner" & i.ToString()).Text = "Some Text"

Also, if you've created these controls through code and have not set the .Name property, you will need to do so.
