Setting link dynamically

Sam's comments were very good also.
As for casting..
dim control as Control = FindControl(reader(1).ToString())
if (control is nothing) then
'throw an exception maybe? depends whether this is exceptional or not
else if (control is HtmlImage)
dim h as HtmlImage = ctype(control, HtmlImage)
h.NavigateUrl = ...
else if (control is TextBox)
dim t as TextBox = ctype(control, TextBox)
t.Text = reader(1).ToString()
end if

It was the CType thing I'd forgotten all about. Funny how it slips
