SYMPTOMS

In other Visual Basic projects, you can create a control array by setting the index of the control. However, DHTML does not support control arrays, so this property is not exposed.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Visual Basic will prompt you to create a control array when adding a control of the same name to a form. This does not occur in a DHTML Application project. Instead, Visual Basic creates the new control with the same ID and appends a number to the end.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a DHTML Application project in Visual Basic. DHTMLPage1 is created by default.
Add a Button to DHTMLPage1.
Copy and Paste the control back into DHTMLPage1. Note that you have two controls on the page. Note that the ID property for the second control is Button11. You can optionally add a third Button by pasting again. Note that the third Button is Button12.
