    No, that won’t work, but you can assign ThisThingToolStripMenuItem to a variable with a smaller name, but you still have to reference it as ThisThing.Text.

    You can also use a delegate defined with a lambda expression:

    Action<string> setter = (string s) => ThisThingToolStripMenuItem.Text = s;

...

setter("whatever");

    In VB.Net:

    Dim Setter = Sub(s) ThisThingToolStripMenuItem.Text = s

...

Setter("whatever")
