Hello.
If I have the code : sender As System.Object
and sender is Button class.
How can I refer sender as a button ?

Thanks :)

Dim b As Button = TryCast(sender, Button)

If b IsNot Nothing Then
' do cool stuff with the button specific stuff
Else
MessageBox.Show ("sender is not a button!")
End If

What is the difference between tryCast and directCast ?

Thanks :)
