Hi guys...here's my problem. I have created a viual control called a TilePlaceControl. I have added many of these to a panel control on a form.

Now, I can access any control containedby the panel in this way...

myPanel.Controls[x] where x is the 0 based index of the control previously added. The problem is, that snippet of code as it stands returns (and rightly so) a generic Sytem.Forms.Control object.

My problem is that I need to change an aspect of the TilePlaceControl actually contained within the panel...for example, I need to do something like this...

myPanel.Controls[x].MyMethod(...)

So then, why can I NOT do this?

(TilePlaceControl)myPanel.Controls[x].MyMethod(...)

The compiler complains saying that MyMethod is not a member of System.Forms.Control.

I wouldn't mind so much if I could simply do the following...

TilePlaceControl tpc = (TilePlaceControl)myPanel.Controls[x];
tpc.MyMethod(...)
myPanel.Controls[x] = tpc;

But I can't because Controls[x] is a READ ONLY indexer.

Please guys give me a way around this, the other alternative is just way too ugly to even contemplate

Regards,

Senkwe
