Using VB's "With" in C#

[John S]

In VB, you could start manipulating a controls properites and methods
just by using the statement
With <control name>
..Text=gnkn
end with

Does anyone know if there is anything similar in C#

Does anyone know if there is anything similar in C#

not really... the closest thing you can do is :
//***
TextBox t = this.txtMyTextBox;
t.Text. = gnkn;
t.ForeColor = Color.Red;
//...
//***

VB.NET's With / End With is syntax sugar -- the functionally exact
equivalent in C# is:

SomeType st = Some.Really.Long.Heirarchy.Of.Stuff;
t.OneProperty = someValue;
t.AnotherProperty = someOtherValue;
