How can I dynamically reference a control in vb.net

Question

I'm trying to select a control based on setting a variable equal to that control like so:

selectedBox = sender

For reference this is how I declare selectedBox:

Dim selectedBox As PictureBox

What I was hoping to do was something like this:

If selectedBox = picbox then
...

Where picbox is a picturebox passed to the function.

However this doesn't work due to:

Operator '=' is not defined for types 'PictureBox' and 'PictureBox'

So what can I do here?

If selectedBox Is picbox Then
