I'm slowly teaching myself VB .NET. After getting a simple calculator
program written and working on my PC, I decided it might be fun to try the
same program, targetted for a WM device. The following bit of code:

Private Sub numberClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btn0.Click
lblDisplay.Text = lblDisplay.Text + sender.Text
End Sub

Results in this error: "The targeted version of the .NET Compact Framework
does not support latebinding"

My Google searches on the error can basically be summarized as: Don't use
objects as variables.

So... How would I get around the problem?

My target device is running WM 6.1, with the .NET CF 3.5.

My PC is running Windows Vista, Visual Studio .NET 2005 and various .NET
versions.

An Object doesn't necessarily have a Text property, so you can't do that.
You could cast it to a Control object (CType in VB IIRC) and then use your
logic from there.

Hi Chris. The object in this case is a button, and I was hoping to use the
button's text label (a number, since it's a calculator button) to get the
value that I need. I tried CType, and it gave me a different error. I'll
try it again, and see how it works. Maybe I did something wrong. I'll post
my results if it doesn't work.
