How can I refer to dynamically created controls in code?

[theunknownknight]

I dynamically created table, tablecell, and tablerow controls in code. The number of rows in the table is dependent on a number the user enters into a textbox. When the user presses enter, the table is created at run time and placed in a placeholder. In some cells I have added dynamically created textboxes. I then, want the user to enter information into the textboxes.

Here is my question. How do I read the data from the created textboxes into a variable?

(I can't refer to them in code because I get the error that the control hasn't been declared. I understand that it because they doesn't exist in design time.)

If I can't, what's the point, besides labels, of being able to create web controls at runtime?

Thanks.

The best way is to put it into a placeholder or a panel. Then when you want to access it simply go through the controls collection of that object and find the control you are looking for.

The reason I say to put it into a Panel rather than simply on the page is so that you only have to loop through the controls in that panel rather than the entire page.
