[.net] vb.net managing textures

I am writing a map editor that will have multiple textures to pick from.
My texture class works well but what I am having trouble with is managing multiple texture classes.
basically, I am doing:
Use a Hashtable instead and loop through the Keys collection to list the names or use col(name) to retrieve a texture by name. You add them using col(name, tex)

Thanks...but now I am stumped on this.
I would like to do something like:
"GetTextureWidth" is a member of the clsTexture.
Does that make sense?
thanks!!
I would like to do something like:
w = col("grass").GetTextureWidth"GetTextureWidth" is a member of the clsTexture.
Does that make sense?

Well, a collection contains things of the Object type. (At least for now) So you will have to convert/cast the elements to the right type like this:
w = CType(col("grass"), clsTexture).GetTextureWidth
or (more readable):
Dim tex As clsTexture
tex = CType(col("grass"), clsTexture)
w = tex.GetTextureWidth()

BTW: stop prefixing your classes with cls. Check out FxCop on www.gotdotnet.com for naming/coding rules.
w = CType(col("grass"), clsTexture).GetTextureWidth
or (more readable):
Dim tex As clsTexture
tex = CType(col("grass"), clsTexture)
w = tex.GetTextureWidth()

Hey!
Thanks a bunch dude...that is what I needed!
New to the .NET stuff.
Also, I will check into that FXCop....I guess old habbits die hard. But then again, I've always worked as a one-man programming team at my job and play so my naming schemes have always worked. :-)
