How to specify the position of a label control ?

Hi All,

In my app, i need to dynamically generate several label control . My problem is how to specify the position of those controls.
For example,

Dim lblNew As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label()

now, i want the lblNew located on the specified location. How can i do that ?

Why not put the lable where you want it then set its visible preperty to false then when you need to use it enable it. Just a thought.

Cin0s3 , thank you for the reply. But in my application, the number of label controls can't be determined in advance. I understand i could create a large enough set of labels on the interface and then visible them dynamcially. But still, i want to know if there is a way to dynamically create and locate controls based on request.

lblNew.Attributes.Add("style", "position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 20px")

Remember that Run-time created components do not persist view state, meaning you will need to recreate them on every post back if you want them to remain on screen.

You also cannot tie event handlers to run time created controls in ASP.Net. You can in VB.NET, just not ASP.NET

Thank you so much Lord_Rat. And you also solved my other question about losing the dynamically-created ctrl on post back. Thanks again.
