Adding Html Code dynmically in Placeholder

[_MC_]

Hi,

i want to structure two elements (each conists of 1 Label and 1 Textbox) in
an Table. As I use an Content Place Holder, i thought it is possible to add
the table via Controls.add(Li teral). Literal consists of standard html code
like <table>, <tr>, etc.. Nevertheless Asp Net generates me now table in
html code, maybe you see my mistake in the code below. Thanks a lot!

Literal tableStart = new Literal(); tableStart.Text =
"<table>";

Literal tableStop = new Literal(); tableStop.Text =
"</table>";

Literal rowStart = new Literal(); rowStart.Text = "<tr>";

Literal rowStop = new Literal(); rowStart.Text = "</tr>";

Literal jumpColumnStart = new Literal(); jumpColumnStart .Text = "<td>";


PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(table Start); // <table>

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(rowSt art); // <tr>

for (int i = 0; i < columnNames.Cou nt; i++) {

lastcount++;

Label infoLabel = new Label();

infoLabel.Text = "test1";
TextBox myValTextBox = new TextBox();

myValTextBox.Te xt = "test2"

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(jumpC olumnStart); // <td>

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(infoL abel);

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(jumpC olumnStart); // <td>

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(myVal TextBox);

if (lastcount == tableColumns)

{

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(rowSt op); // </tr>

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(rowSt art); // <tr>

lastcount = 0;

}
}

PlaceHolder2_Ed itableItems.Con trols.Add(table Stop);

I don't believe it will work as you expect because you are adding the same
object repeatedly. That will confuse the control you are adding it to such
as the placeholder. Your best bet is to create the
literal controls that control the start and stop of the table cells within
the loop. That would limit how often you add the same control to the
placeholder because it will be a new literal control each time it goes
through the loop.

you need to nest properly. add the tr's to the table controls
collection, td'd to the tr's controls collection, etc.

also there is an HtmlTable controlthat you can use instead.
