how to dynamically create hyperlinks at run-time?

[BruceG]

Hello, I have a web form with a table consisting 1 row of 2 columns. In the left column, I want to dynamically generate a list of hyperlinks based on data in a database. (This is the main part of my question - if I can get that far, I'd be happy.) In the right column I have a placeholder control.

When the user clicks one of these links on the left (which will be to one of any number of html files), I want to display the contents of the linked file in the placeholder on the right.

Can anyone provide some ideas on how to do this? Any code or syntax would be helpful. Thanks.

'Declare Main table, row and cell
        Dim tbl As New UI.WebControls.Table
        Dim row As New UI.WebControls.TableRow
        Dim cell As New UI.WebControls.TableCell
 
        'Declare inner table to hold links
        Dim LnkTbl As New UI.WebControls.Table
 
        'Loop through DB records
        For Index As Integer = 1 To 4
            'Create new hyperlink control
            Dim lnk As New UI.WebControls.HyperLink
 
            lnk.Text = "Link " & Index.ToString
            lnk.NavigateUrl = "Woof.aspx?ID=" & Index.ToString
 
            'Create new cell and row and add new hyper link control to it
            Dim LnkRow As New UI.WebControls.TableRow
            Dim LnkCell As New UI.WebControls.TableCell
 
            LnkCell.Controls.Add(lnk)
            LnkRow.Cells.Add(LnkCell)
            LnkTbl.Rows.Add(LnkRow)
        Next Index
 
        'Add link table to main table and add that to page
        cell.Controls.Add(LnkTbl)
        row.Cells.Add(cell)
        tbl.Rows.Add(row)
        Me.Controls.Add(tbl)

Hope that helps.
