Multiple TableCell.Conrols.Add(control) - How <BR> between them?

[Craig]

I'm adding several controls to a cell, but want them all to have a <BR>
between them. What's the easiest way?

I'm doing something like this:

HyperLink link = new Hyperlink();
//I setup the link target, navigateurl, etc here
Label lblDescription = new Label();
//I setup the lblDescription.Text here
Label lblName = new Label();
//I setup the lblName.Text here

TableCell cell = new TableCell();
cell.Controls.Add(link);
cell.Controls.Add(lblDescription);
cell.Controls.Add(lblName);
Now all the controls are just run together. Is there a property on the
controls to set to include <BR> after them? doing something like cell.Text
+= "<BR>" between them doesn't work, it erases to content of the cell...

Thanks in advance for the help,
Craig

Hello Craig,

Between adding the link and lblDescription
and between adding the lblDescription and lblName,
you can add LiteralControls that contain the "<BR>".

Best regards,

You can set up a System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal object to have the text
"<br/>" and then add this control to the controls collection of the cell.

Take a look at Literal Control.

Thanks guys - I have overlooked the literal control all this time
apparently... it works great.
