Hi All,
   I am new(ish) to Visual Basic and C# programming, I have been testing out the Xpression U tutorial writing a C# program and starting out it was simple, I can get a scene and bring it online. The programming goes off the rails when I try and set the text of an object on a scene. 

Attached is a screen shot of the sample, but it is simply following the tutorial on youtube.

Thanks fort your help

You probably already have your solution by now, but just in case try:

lowerThird.GetObjectByName("Text1",out textObj)
textObj.Text = editName.Text

I haven't used C# before, but I think when you are trying to cast baseObj that is the problem. You can use "GetObjectByName" directly on different types of objects, not just xpBaseObject.
