Adding Controls on the Fly...

[Phil Lamey]

Hi All,

I guess one piece I am missing about ASP.NET is how to add
controls on the fly.

For example: I am trying to get data from a database and
then for each record add a Checkbox to the webform.

How can this be done within the *.aspx.vb form?

I would have simply done this in ASP:

<form>
<%
while not rs.eof

Reponse.Write <Checkbox Stuff>
rs.movenext
wend
%>
</form>

so how do I do it? I don't put the <form> tags in the vb
page...I want to add it as a server control on the fly...

What am I missing here? Thanks for any help.

Objects, such as the Page or Panel object, have a Controls collection. You
can dynamically create controls, then add them to this collection using the
Add method.

Any suggestions on what control to use when I want to list a number of
selectable offices (can be multiple) or all offices.

Thanks,
