Hi,

 I'm a C# programmer but I am having to do a project in VB.Net and need a bit of help in creating dynamic controls. Below is an example in C# that basically creates 10 buttons and on click a label displays which button has been clicked:

protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
	DrawButtons();
}


private void DrawButtons()
{
	Button button;


	for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++ )
	{
		button = new Button();
		button.Text = "Button " + i.ToString();
		button.CommandArgument = i.ToString();
		button.Click += new EventHandler( button_Click );
		placeHolder.Controls.Add( button );
	}
}


void button_Click( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
	Button button = sender as Button;


	if ( button != null )
		label.Text = "Button " + button.CommandArgument + " was clicked";
}

Now I have tried to write the same simple bit of code in VB.Net  (see below)  however I can't seem to do it without creating a global variable of type button with the "WithEvents" attribute:

Dim WithEvents userButton As Button

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

  DrawButtons()

End Sub

Private Sub DrawButtons()

  For i As Integer = 1 To 10
    userButton = New Button
    AddHandler userButton.Click, AddressOf userButton_Click
    userButton.Text = "Button " + i.ToString()
    userButton.CommandArgument = i.ToString()
    placeholder.Controls.Add(userButton)
  Next

End Sub

Protected Sub userButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles userButton.Click

  Dim clickedButton As Button

  If TypeOf sender Is Button Then
    clickedButton = DirectCast(sender, Button)
    label.Text = "Button " + clickedButton.CommandArgument + " clicked"
  End If

End Sub

Is what I have done the right way of doing this or is there a more efficient way?

Thanks for your help in advance.
