Main.FloLay.Controls.RemoveAt(CurItem)
End If

Catch ex1 As Exception

How can i Achieve this Feat? Thank you In Advance.

Answer 1

RemoveAt takes a number as parameter that is the index in the collection.
You have to do two things:
Use Remove instead of RemoveAt
Exit the for loop
So the code:
For Each Button As System.Windows.Forms.Control In Main.FloLay.Controls
If Button.Tag = curItem Then
Main.FloLay.Controls.Remove(Button)
Exit For
End If
Next
The first change is obvious, the second change is needed because you alter the enumerator when you remove the button and it would throw an exception if you try to continue the for loop after the deletion.
If you want to delete multiple items you can use the following trick:
For i = Main.FloLay.Controls.Count -1 To 0 Step -1
If Main.FloLay.Controls(i).Tag = curItem Then
Main.FloLay.Controls.RemoveAt(i) 'Here you actually provide the index!
End If
Next
This will work because you don't alter any index yet to come be deleting an item if you move backwards through the collection.
