Error while Adding Controls to a form dynamically

[jino]

Hi,

I need to add labels to a form dynamically. The number of labels to be added is driven by a variable stored in session. The labels should have text like "Label 1", Label 2", "Label 3" and so forth. I am trying to create these controls in the page_load event. But it throws an unhandled exception.

dim i as integer

If numberInSession > 0 then

For i=1 to numberInSession

dim myLabel as System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
Me.FindControl("Form1").Controls.Add(myLabel)
myLabel.Text = "Label" & i

Next
End If

Help?

myLabel = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label()

What is the error?
Also, dynamic controls should be created in the page_init event.

I'm assuming the error will be an object reference not set to an instance of an object error as they haven't created a new instance of the Label (as Veep points out).
