C# code for dynamic text boxes

[vpr28]

Hi,
I am a novice programmer. I have a question regarding asp.net ver 2.0 using C#. I was goin through some excercies and found this one. Say I have a paint shop .... I have to create a website in such a way that user can enter length and breadth of the room. There might be few openings in the room which I dont wanna paint. I should ask the user to enter number of openings..when he enters say n, the website should dynamically create n*2 textboxes ( so that user could enter length and breadth of n). Finaly I should be able to calculate total paint( 35Sqfeet/Gallon) using area of the room-number of openings.

I hope you understood the question. Please help me code this!!

Hi There ,

The Best way would be to read the amount of openings and run it in a for loop.

in each for loop you can create a textbox by using the TextBox txtbox1= new TextBox and adding the control to a Table by running the table-cell serverside and using the Cell.Controls.Add( txtbox1) command.

Hope you get it :)

Hi,
Never prefer this kind of approach when getting input from the user. If n value will be large then the n*2 controls will set a severe pain to ur application. Also it will fail during Testing. Try to use another safer way to get input from user.
