Visual Basic Express 2010 Tutorial 40 Dynamically Making Objects - EZInvaders Part 9 Game

Copy and pasting objects in the form manually does works for small sets of objects. If the application needs 100s of objects then copy and pasting will not work well. What is needed is to dynamically add objects to the form. Make a variable as the object you want to create. Make a new instance of that object, set the properties, then add the object to the controls by using Controls.Add

Is there a way to create a dynamic array or list of objects? I am creating pictureboxes on timer tick, and I need to add each to a collection so that I may refer to them via the index. They should continue to spawn as long as the timer is active. So far I can either add them to an array upon creation OR spawn them dynamically, but not both.
