response.write question

[theunknownknight]

I have a page that has a textbox and a button (both web controls run at the server). I want the user to enter in a number in the textbox.

Based upon that number, I want the appropriate number of textboxes to appear for the user to enter in information.

In other words, I am trying to programmatically add textboxes (webcontrols) to my web page when a button is pressed. The number of textboxes added could be whatever number is entered into the initial textbox (In theory it could be infinite). How do I add at webcontrols at the bottom of the existing web page from code?

I am leaning toward response.write but I believe that would only create html controls, not web controls. Any Advice?

Thanks.

Check into placeholders. The basic idea is to initialize textboxes in codebehind in a loop based on that number, and then add them to the controls collection of a placeholder.

Thanks Link,

Now I've run into the problem of creating a "control array" in ASP.NET. I hear there is no such thing. How do I place textboxes with unique names into the placeholder. Most of the examples assume you know how many you will have so they hard code them.

I need the names of my textboxes to be dynamic.

Thanks again.

dim txt as textbox
for i = 0 to someNum
txt = new textbox
txt.id = "myTextBox" & i
placeholder.controls.add(txt)
next

just assign id's with the iterator variable tacked onto the end to give them unique ids
