Accessing the properties of an object in a collection - VB.net

[MikeH]

Hello. I've got a number of objects in a collection, and I'd like to access their properties. However, I can't access their properties unless I loop through the collection in the following way:

for each inst as obj in collection
inst.property = 5
next

I'd like to be able to access objects based on their index number, such as in the following:

for each inst as obj in collection
if inst.property = 5 then
inst(12).property = "success"
end if
next

Is this possible?

If it helps, the collection was defined as type Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection()

Thank you!

The variable 'inst' is not a collection, it's a single object, so you cannot access inst(12). If your collection is named 'collection', as your code suggests, then you should be able to do this:

For Each inst As YourClass In collection
    If inst.Property = 5 Then
        collection(12).Property = "success"
    End If
Next
