Dynamic generation of CheckBoxes

[yashsays]

Hi everyone

I am trying to generate Checkboxes at runtime...its basically a order form, where number of checkboxes will depend on number of items in the form..and the items will be picked from database.

i dont know if thats right...but i tried using Controls.Add( New Checkbox)...i could solve the issue with this.

Can anyone kindly help me out.

When I dynamically add controls, usually I use a htmltable as a container and add a new row and cell and then add the control to that cells control collection.

This is the basics of it.

'create Table Row
Dim htmlRow As New system.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableRow
htmlRow.ID = "UniqueID"

'create Table Cell
Dim htmlcell As New System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableCell
htmlcell.Align = "left"

'Create CheckBox
Dim chk As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox
chk.ID = "UniqueCheckBoxID"

'add checkbox to cell and then the cell to the row
htmlcell.Controls.Add(chk)
htmlRow.Controls.Add(htmlcell)

'find the table to add to
htmlTable = Me.FindControl("TABLEName")

'add row to table
htmlTable.Controls.Add(htmlRow)
