Post #276,707 by crazy 12/26/06 2:01:51 PM Reply	C# question I'm creating a user interface with a bunch of check boxes, text boxes, and combo boxes. Rather than hardcode the defaults and pick lists, I'm drawing them from a SQL/Server table that has a record for each text box and combo box pick list value, along with the sort order, ie: Field: cmbPlex Sort_Order: 1 Lookup: Simplex Field: cmbPlex Sort_Order: 2 Lookup: Duplex And so on. In the start off the program, it runs through a predetermined hash list of field name->object pairs, and then does a query to the database to see if there is anything there. I'd LIKE to simply query a distinct list of "Field" to get a list of things I should be working against, but I don't know how to go from the text sting to the associated object without pre-filling the hash - which I'm trying to avoid. Can I do the reverse, ie: walk the list of objects, and then match them up against the SQL data? If so, can you point me in a direction?

Right now I'm burning the midnight oil on a database conversion that has to be done on the 2nd while the University is on break.

Despite Microsoft's attempts to plaster over the differences and pretend building an application is the same as building a web application, there are significant differences. As for your question, your interface items have to be in some sort of container. And most Microsoft containers have a find method of some sort that will go from an objects name to the object. In ASP.NET it is FindControl. Jay
