insert tag

[huby]

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.

Insert a Literal Control in there

 

easy enough :)

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 :

ExpoPanel.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<BR>"));

is that the shortest/most optimized way of using it ?

 

thank you for the reply ;)

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
