[Mono-list] Ported code from VB6 to VB.NET problem

Hi,

I've ported some of my old code from VB6 to VB.NET and have fixed just 
about all of the issues except for one.

In VB6, there are collection arrays (so you can have the likes of an 
array of buttons etc). To get around the lack of these in VB.NET, I'm 
using a List for them

For example

Dim WithEvents cmdButtons As New List(Of Button)

then in the Load event

cmdButtons.AddRange(New Button() {_cmdButton_0, _cmdButton_1})

etc

This works fine. The problem is with the event handling. You obviously 
can't trigger a Click event (say) on a List.

Short of creating a tonne of the same methods to fire off the events for 
each cmdButton, is there some generic way that everything within that 
List fires off the event?
