hello i'm trying to dynamically add a tag to an aspx page.

i add labels at runtime using myPanel.Controls.Add(myLabel), and would like to insert "<BR>" between them, to space my data.

what object/method should i use ? HtmlTextWriter ? how does that work ?

thanx,

Huby.
 
ok thank you !

sorry i know it was a newbie question, but i'm getting into ASP.NET without asy classic ASP background...

LiteralControl is easy enough :D i used this syntax :
Code: 
ExpoPanel.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<BR>"));
is that the shortest/most optimized way of using it ?

thank you for the reply ;)

Click to expand...
and i'll just add...

that if you are indeed just learning ASP.NET... learning the "shortcut" methods might be hurting you, not helping you... since the "long way" will teach/show you whats going on other than "it just works" (this holds true for me anyways)

So like:

'Create a new control that holds a line break
Dim litLineBreak As New Literal
litLineBreak.Text = "<br />"

'Now add it to the Panel
myPanel.Controls.Add(litLineBreak)


and with the above, later on you can just re-use "litLineBreak" if you need to add another line break somewhere instead of unceccarily created "New" controls every time

hth
