ASP.Net - how do I create a varying number of UserControls?

Clay Beatty

OK, I am a .Net newbie... and I'm sure that if I spend the next two
weeks pouring through MSDN articles, I will find the answer... But...
I'm sure that this is done all the time, and so I'm sure the answer
could be found here much more quickly :)

I have a page, whose load event will execute a database query. Based
on the number of rows returned from that query, I would like
instantiate a new UserControl for each and every row. I would like to
place those user controls into a dynamically generated HTML table, and
also I would like to set the properties of each control based on the
contents of the applicable row in the result set.

Problem is, I don't have clue as to how to start this... I have
searched these news groups, and found referneces to placeholder and to
the LoadControl function... but I haven't seen a case close to the
one I described above.

The simplest code sample would be greatly appreciated.... Thank you in
afvance :)

Why dont you bind the resultset to an asp.net datagrid - it renders as a
table and is very flexible, you can also set its output to use virtually any
control you wish as the template for it which emans you should be abel to
sue your user control. Tons of code examples around on databinding and
templates.

Once the amounts have been determined, I then need to submit...

How to create UserControl as webpart at runtime.

by: =?Utf-8?B?QWtzaGF5?= | last post by:

I'm adding UserControls as WebPart at runtime to a WebPartZone. This is working fine but when I add two or more UserControl instances, the UserControls are overlapping each other i.e. When I add first UserControl it gets added successfully but when I add another UserControl to the same zone, this new UserControl overlapps the first UserControl and it gives a confusing look to the user. Also, the Title area of these webparts shows at...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
