Did you have other labels that you don't want to clear? Are you talking about WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET? Why do you tag this question with SQL?

Did you tried anything? Writing all labels by name and setting .Text = string.Empty? Or maybe you added all labels to the collection and you need only loop through them and reset text?

First method

Loop over label using this code:

                  For each Lbl as Label in Me.Controls.OfType(Of Label)()     Lbl.Text = ""  Next

Second method

Or you have to list all labels and change .Text property

                  Label1.Text = "" Label2.Text = "" Label3.Text = "" ...

This will not compile with Option Strict On

Apr 2 '17 at 10:01
@Fabio you're right, but Vb.net option strict is set to OFF by default. I added a note to my answer

Apr 2 '17 at 10:19
You can simply use Form1.Controls.OfType(Of Label)() and inside loop lbl.Text = "" which satisfy both options of Option Strict :)

And make sure you are not using Option Strict On is somehow bad advise - because you want get full help from compiler. That's why you should advise to use Option Strict On
