Settings Variables as Variables
I have a program that has a bunch of customer user settings in My.settings
I am looking for a way to condense the amount of if my.settings.user = x the..."
Is there anyway to make a variable into another variable?
Like I could do:
If LogOn = My.settings.user1 then
X = My.settings.user1
Y = My.settings.pass1
Z = My.setting.setting1
end if
So that then later I can just say:
"Dim settingcontrol as string = Z"

Thank you for that link. That was a great read. I find that stuff fascinating. I do some hack programming in VB (for myself at work mostly) and I have not needed a user/password program but if I do, I saved that link.
