| How can I pass all of an objects properties through a procedure in a variable in C#? For instance, I want to send a panels properties through a procedure to set width, height, etc. depending on which panel it is. |

| I've never used C#, but if I'm understanding what you're asking, I think you want to pass a reference to the object to the procedure, and then the procedure can modify any of the object's properties. |

Yup that's what I was talking about. |

Your question doesn't really make much sense at the moment. magicdanw's suggestion sounds the closest, ie:
Code:
void SetProperties(Panel p) {
p.Width = 100;
p.Height = 200;
}

| Not at all...it's a basic technique of object-oriented languages. |

Sorry, I'll try to clarify more. I have two separate panels that represent planes to draw a graph on. In the code below there are two functions that look the same except they are for painting on the two separate graphs; one for the first one and one for the second. What I need to be able to do is send a variable or object through that would have all the properties of the panel so I can set the width etc no matter which panel it was using only one variable in the paintGraph function. I don't want to waste time with Tags if there is another way to do this because I could use a lot less code if there was away to use just an object or variable being sent through the procedure. So there would be a third argument in the function that would represent either the object or variable being passed with the objects properties.
Code:
private void pnlFirstGraph_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
paintGraph(sender, e);
}
private void pnlSecondGraph_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
paintGraph(sender, e);
}

| If the code of pnlFirstGraph_Paint and pnlSecondGraph_Paint is exactly the same, why do you need two of them? |

Because they are two different panels calling the paint function separately, which just happens to lead to the same function to actually draw on them. When the form is refreshed and needs to be redrawn these two functions will be called.
EDIT: Never mind. This issue was solved.

| You can attach the same event handler to multiple event sources, you don't need to create a new event handler for each one (rather than double-clicking in the event property editor, pick an existing handler in the drop-down). |

Yeah I realized that after I made the last post. With two event handlers it didn't seem to make a huge benefit, but if I ever decided to add more that do the same then you way is in fact a lot better. |
