How do I inset text into a panel using codebehind

[yongbum]

Hi I have a panel with a background image and I want to superimpose some text on this using codebehind, how do I do this. I've seen InnerHTML or InnerText and this seems to be what I need. What's the Panel attribute equivelent.

Thanks

You could simply add a Literal to the Panel e.g.

        Dim l As New Literal
        l.Text = "Hi"
        Panel1.Controls.Add(l)

although I guess it depends what you are actually wanting to do which will determine if this is the best method. For example, if you are want to add a kind of copyright watermark over the Image, then it may be best to use GDI+ and actually append that text to the image (so that user's can't simply navigate directly to the image and bypass the Text you have written over the image in the Panel).

Thanks ca8msm a literal sounds ok, will I still see the image - that is can I make it transparent?
