Dynamic control creation based on database records

[fareezf]

Hi,

I have a table with 7 fields called 'CustomerOrder'. I am creating a form in which there is text box where the user will enter the name of the customer. Then that customer name should be searched in the 'CustomerOrder' table and if there are records belonging to that particular customer they should be shown on that form.

Suppose there are 3 records then 21 text boxes should be created dynamicaly on the form and should be populated with the records as follows.

text1 text2 text3 text4 text5 text6 text7
text1 text2 text3 text4 text5 text6 text7
text1 text2 text3 text4 text5 text6 text7

Could someone please show me how to do this?

Why don't you just display it in a grid?

As I remember, an other alternative is to use the data repeater control.

I think you have to create your own user control to handle 1 Record. You then use the data repeater to replicate this control for each record in the recordset.

Much more than that, I can't remember, but MSDN will be able to help, now you have an idea to search for!
