Question

I have a following vb.net function as below in which i am passing a checkbox control name as parameter.Code is here

Public Function emaildata(ByVal grdv As GridView, ByVal ctrl As String, ByVal celpos As Integer) As GridView
        Dim comm As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand()
        Dim bpv As String = ""
        Dim gv As New GridView
        For Each gvrow As GridViewRow In grdv.Rows
            Dim chkbx As CheckBox = CType(gvrow.FindControl(ctrl), CheckBox)
            If chkbx.Checked Then
                If bpv <> "" Then
                    bpv += ","
                End If
                bpv += gvrow.Cells(celpos).Text
                comm.CommandText = "SELECT chq_num Cheque#,to_char(bpv_amt,'9,999,999,999') Amount,vch_nar Narration,bnf_nam PartyName,acc_des Bank from  CHECK_DATA where bpv_num in(" & bpv.ToString() & ") and BPV_DTE=to_date('" & TreeView2.SelectedValue & "')"
                comm.CommandType = CommandType.Text
                comm.Connection = con
                Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(comm)
                Dim ds As New DataSet
                da.Fill(ds)
                gv.DataSource = ds
                gv.DataBind()
            End If
        Next
        Return gv
    End Function

Problem is that i have to use same function with radiobutton also with text box and i don’t want to write separate function for all type of controls.I want to detect the control as parameter and.For Example if i pass text box then function should behave like a text box and if radio then radion behaviour and if checkbox then same behaviour for this.I have these three control to pass the function and i want make a automatic detection method for these controls

You need to send ctrl as CONTROL(its a base class for all controls) as parameter.

You need to use latebinding and need to write separate cases for each control type….

Below code will work for checkbox only

Dim chkbx As CheckBox = CType(gvrow.FindControl(ctrl), CheckBox)
If chkbx.Checked Then

For textbox and radiobutton you need write additional code

Public Function emaildata(ByVal grdv As GridView, ByVal ctrl As Control, ByVal celpos As Integer) As GridView

 If TypeOf ctrl Is Button Then

 ElseIf TypeOf ctrl Is RadioButton Then 

 Else

 EndIf
