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.Attachments.Count; i > 0; i--)
{
try
{
OL.Attachment attachment =theEmail.Attachments;

string fileStorage=@"c:\" +theEmail.Attachments.DisplayName;
rmaxOutlook.attachmentFormBuilder newAttachTextField=new
attachmentFormBuilder(attachment.DisplayName,fileS torage,i);

TextBox newTxtAttachField = new TextBox();
newTxtAttachField.Width = 338;
newTxtAttachField.Location = new Point(over, down + 25);
newTxtAttachField.Text = attachment.DisplayName;
this.Controls.Add(newTxtAttachField);
attachment.SaveAsFile(@"c:\" + theEmail.Attachments.DisplayName);
}

catch (Exception exc)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(exc.ToString( ));
}
}

With non-esential code stripped out:

int over = 25;
int down = 0;
for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
{
try
{
TextBox newTxtAttachField = new TextBox();
newTxtAttachField.Width = 338;
newTxtAttachField.Location = new Point(over, down + 25);
down+=25;
newTxtAttachField.Text = "box"+i.ToString() ;
newTxtAttachField.Name ="Textbox"+i.ToString();
this.Controls.Add(newTxtAttachField);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(exc.ToString( ));
}
}

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