Dynamicly creat a button

Ok I set up a basic asp .net project created a page etc, and I added a button to the page, and in the button1_click function i added this

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim S As New Button
        S.Height = Button1.Height()
        S.Width = Button1.Width()
        S.Visible = True
        S.Text = "Test this text"

        S.Enabled() = True
    End Sub

---

and it did't have the effect i was looking for. I was hoping it would let me dynamicly place a button on the webpage...but nope did't work. can anyone help?

Hi, you need to call the Add method of the Controls collection to add the control to your page

VB Code:

Controls.Add(S)

For a button you might have to be specifc about adding the button within the <form> tags. One way of doing this is to create a panel and then add the button to the panels controls..

VB Code:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
            <asp:Panel ID="PnlControls" Runat="server">
                <asp:Button id="Button1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 8px" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
            </asp:Panel>
        </form>

Then in the code behind button1_click event try

VB Code:

PnlControls.Controls.Add(S)

HTH
