Adding a listitem to a table cell

[Hong Yip]

Hi Everyone,

I have an array of checkboxlist. Everything works prefectly fine until I
start working on the "presentation" view. I am not able to "insert" a
checkbox item to a table cell.

Something like that,

TableCell TCell = new TableCell();

TCell.Control.Add( .....);

Is there a way to add the list item into a table cell?

Thanks!
Regards,
Hong Yip

I might be missing your question, but you can do this:

TableCell cell = new TableCell();
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox();
cell.Controls.Add(cb);
MyTable.Rows[SomeRow].Cells.Add(cell);

Since you're dynamically creating the control, you'll have to recreate it
upon every postback if you want it to retain its state.

Thanks for Brock's suggestions.

Hi Hong,

As Brock has mentioned, we can dynamically create individual web controls
and add them in a TableCell. Also, I'm not sure whether what you want is to
add a ListItem into a TableCell? If so, I'm afraid this is not allowed
since ListItem are not a WebControl ,they must be added into an existing
ListControl. For example, we should generate a DropDownList or ListBox
control and programmly add listItem (or through databinding) to fill them ,
then add the DropDownList or ListBox into Table Cell.

Please feel free to post here if there're any further questions. Thanks,

Hi Brook & Steven Cheng

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, Brook, What I really want to do is to add a listitem into a TableCell.
Reason why I am putting into a TableCell is to 'tidy up' the presentation
view of my array of checkboxlist. I guess I have to look at my data
structure architecture to see if I can change it the way Brook has suggested
it.
