A circular control reference has been made

[Gayathri P]

I try this code to make controls at run time.

I got this bug "A circular control reference has been made. A control cannot be owned by or parented to itself".

How to resolve this?

class control
    {
        public System.Windows.Forms.TextBox[] textbox;
        public System.Windows.Forms.Label[] label;
        //public System.Windows.Forms.Button buton1;
        //public System.Windows.Forms.Button buton2;
        public int t;
 
        public int k2 = 50;
        public void ctrl()
        {
            textbox = new TextBox[t];
            label = new Label[t];
            for (int i = 0; i < t; i++)
            {
 
                textbox[i] = new TextBox();
                textbox[i].Name = "TextBox" + i.ToString();
                textbox[i].Left =200;
                textbox[i].Top = k2;
                textbox[i].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 20);
                textbox[i].TabIndex = i;
                textbox[i].Visible = true;
                textbox[i].Text = " Enter the item" + i.ToString();
                this.textbox[i].Controls.Add(this.textbox[i]);
 
                label[i] = new Label();
                label[i].Name = "Label" + i.ToString();
                label[i].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(300, k2);   
                label[i].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 20);
                label[i].Visible = true;
                label[i].TabIndex = 1;
                label[i].AutoSize = true;
                label[i].Text = "Item " + i.ToString() + ":";
                this.label[i].Controls.Add(this.label[i]);
                k2 += 50;
            }
    }

Please help me to resolve this.

What are you trying to accomplish with the line:
this.textbox[i].Controls.Add(this.textbox[i]); ?

[Frinavale]

r035198x found the problem.

Line 25 in the code you originally posted is adding a TextBox to the same TextBox's controls. This doesn't make any sense to people or the compiler.

If this is a control that contains other controls, then maybe your code on line 25 should be:

this.Controls.Add(this.textbox[i]);

Also, line 35 should be changed to:
this.Controls.Add(this.label[i]);
