Dynamic textboxes created on the fly....

[sholder]

I have a question.... I'm building a ASPX/VB form that builds dynamic controls based on user input and I can't get it to work to save my life... Basically, the user is given a form to describe an object (actually a storage container in a factory, but neither here nor there.) Anyway, the user puts in the basic info but the last line asks "How many containers?" This allows the user to put in a specified number that will then create dynamic text boxes that allows the user to input uniquie names for the number of containers specified and then inputs the results into a SQL table... For example....

 

 

Name: container 1

Property: Property1

Color: Red

Size: Big

Contents: Waste Product

 

I'm I assuming you use controls.add but how do you make it dynamic? where you are creating X number of textboxes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

try this..

For x = 1 To 20
 txt = New textbox()
 With txt
   AddHandler .GotFocus, AddressOf txtClick
   .Text = "Textbox " & x.tostring
   .Location = New Point(0, x * 25)
   .Size = New Size(200, 60)
 End With
 Controls.Add(txt)
Next

TextBox webcontrol doesnt have .GotFocus event or Location property :).
