Answer 1

You can use extension methods to do it, follow example:

Private associatedLabels As New Dictionary(Of Control, Label)    

Public Sub AssociateLabel(ByVal control As Control, ByVal label As Label)
    If (Not associatedLabels.ContainsKey(control)) Then
        associatedLabels.Add(control, label)
    End If
End Sub


Public Function GetAssociatedLabel(ByVal control As Control) As Label
    If (associatedLabels.ContainsKey(control)) Then
        Return associatedLabels(control)
    Else
        Throw New Exception("There is no associated label")
    End If
End Function
