Creating an array of textboxes at runtime.

[haroldjclements]

Hello All,

 

I have created an application that reads items from a database. What I want to do now is create an array of text boxes that are populated with the data retrieved from the database.

 

The problem is that I am unsure how to create an array of textboxes at runtime. I can use the .set_Size() method to place the box.

 

So far I have:

 

System.Windows.Forms.TextBox [] tbxResults = new TextBox[20];

while (myDataReader.Read())
{
		
tbxResults[loopControl] = new TextBox();
tbxResults[loopControl].set_Location(new System.Drawing.Point(8, y));
tbxResults[loopControl].set_Visible(true);
			
loopControl ++;
y += 24;
}

 

However the does not work.

 

Any help will be most appreciated
