create button dynamic (webform)

[robin1974]

Hello,

 

I want to create a button dynamic (programmatically in VB)

 

I can create a button in a panel dynamically in vb

but I want to place the button on a certain location in the

panel

 

How do I achieve this?

Put PlaceHolder inside the Panel, where you would want to add the Button. When you create the button, add it to PlaceHolder's Controls collection

 

Dim objButton As New Button()
objHolder.Controls.Add(objButton)

ok, thanks

 

but I don't know in advance where the button must be placed

the coordinates of the button is variable

 

can this be achieved?

Set the CSS style attribute to reflect the top and left positions of the button.

Button1.Attributes("style") &= "position: absolute; top: 100; left: 100;"

Keep in mind this is the position of the button in its container, so to make it easier on yourself add the button to the page's control collection instead of an alternate parent element.
