Dim Obj3 As Object

If today is 5th, I want to make three obejects.

Dim Obj1 As Object

Dim Obj2 As Object

Dim Obj3 As Object

Dim Obj4 As Object

Dim Obj5 As Object

Then how do I declare objects dynamically like this? Thank you for reading.

if you want an uncertain number of objects you'll want to hold them in an array or list. — ADyson

YOu'll have to keep them in an array or list or some other kind of collection. Here's how you can achieve it:

Dim objects = New List(Of Object)

For i = 1 To Date.Today.Day
    objects.Add(New Object())
Next

Creating a list of objects may work for what you what:

Dim objs As List(Of Object) = New List(Of [Object])()
Dim day As Integer = DateTime.Today.Day

For i As Integer = 1 To day
    Dim o As Object = New Object()
    objs.Add(o)
Next

Another possibility

Dim Objects As New List(Of Object)(Enumerable.Repeat(New Object, Date.Now.Day))
