create new controls each iteration of a loop

[Mike Mac]

Hello all,

I have a loop and would like to create a new textbox on each iteration of
the loop. The code below only generates one textbox no matter how many times
the loop loops! Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
int over = 25;
int down = 0;
for (int i = theEmail.Attach ments.Count; i > 0; i--)
{
try
{
OL.Attachment attachment =theEmail.Attac hments;

string fileStorage=@"c :\" +theEmail.Attac hments.DisplayN ame;
rmaxOutlook.att achmentFormBuil der newAttachTextFi eld=new
attachmentFormB uilder(attachme nt.DisplayName, fileStorage,i);

TextBox newTxtAttachFie ld = new TextBox();
newTxtAttachFie ld.Width = 338;
newTxtAttachFie ld.Location = new Point(over, down + 25);
newTxtAttachFie ld.Text = attachment.Disp layName;
this.Controls.A dd(newTxtAttach Field);
attachment.Save AsFile(@"c:\" + theEmail.Attach ments.DisplayNa me);
}

catch (Exception exc)
{
System.Windows. Forms.MessageBo x.Show(exc.ToSt ring());
}
}

With non-esential code stripped out:

int over = 25;
int down = 0;
for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
{
try
{
TextBox newTxtAttachFie ld = new TextBox();
newTxtAttachFie ld.Width = 338;
newTxtAttachFie ld.Location = new Point(over, down + 25);
down+=25;
newTxtAttachFie ld.Text = "box"+i.ToStrin g() ;
newTxtAttachFie ld.Name ="Textbox"+i.To String();
this.Controls.A dd(newTxtAttach Field);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
System.Windows. Forms.MessageBo x.Show(exc.ToSt ring());
}
}

You never change the variable "down", so you're creating several textboxes
on top of each other. Try "down += 25" instead of "down + 25"
