how to reach a control in a dynamically extended HTML Table

[buran]

Dear ASP.NET Programmers,

I have a HTML table (running as server control with the control ID:
tblInsertSP). The table has 16 rows with textboxes. Depending on the value
of the ddlSPType, which is a dropdownlist control on the page, I add
dynamically extra rows to the table. For instance, if the ddlSPType selected
item is Aviation Company, an extra row containing a cell with the textbox
control txtAircrafts is added to the HTML table tblInsertSP (which now has
17 controls). I use the following code:

Dim k, totalRowCount as Int16

Select Case ddlSPType.Selec tedValue

Case 1

Dim tRow As New HtmlTableRow
For k = 0 to To 2
tRow.Cells.Add( New HtmlTableCell)
Next

totalRowCount = tblInsertSP.Row s.Count

tblInsertSP.Row s(totalRowCount - 1).Cells(0).Inn erText = "Aircrafts"

Dim txtAircrafts As New TextBox
tblInsertSP.Row s(totalRowCount -
1).Cells(1).Con trols.Add(txtAi rcrafts)

Case 2

....

End Select
After adding extra rows dynamically, I want to save the entered information
into the database tables, SP and SPAviationCompa ny (the latter is used for
specific data of the SP, namely Aircrafts). I have to reach the txtAircrafts
control in the dynamically added row. I tried it with the following code but
it did not work:
Dim str As String
str = CType(Page.Find Control("tblIns ertSP").FindCon trol("txtAircra fts"),
TextBox).Text

I receive an error stating that there's no such an object. How can I reach
this object? Thanks in advance.

It seems VS.2003 doesn't fully support controls
dynamically created (I mean we cannot reference a
dynamically created control by FindControl(ctr lID) method.
Anyway, you can get still it by Request object.

Firstly you need assign ID to your TextBox like
Dim txtAircrafts As New TextBox
txtAircrafts.ID = "txtAircraf ts"

Then using following code retrieve value in the text box
Dim str As String = Request.Form.Ge t("txtAircrafts ")

Hope it's helpful to you.
