trying to create labels programmatically, nothing shows

[DougP]

in the Page load. Nothing shows on the screen that I can see anyway. form color is white. What am I missing?
here is code

         Dim MyLabel As Label
        Dim a, x, y As Integer
        x = 100
        x = 10
        For a = 1 To 50
            MyLabel = New Label
            MyLabel.Name = "TractorLabel" & Trim(a.ToString)
            MyLabel.Height = 98
            MyLabel.Width = 10
            MyLabel.AutoSize = False

            MyLabel.BackColor = Color.DarkMagenta
            MyLabel.Left = x + y
            MyLabel.Top = 250
            MyLabel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle
            MyLabel.Visible = True
            y = y + 10
            Debug.Print(MyLabel.Name)
        Next

TractorLabel1, TractorLabel2, etc shows in the immediate window if it step throught the code
What am I missing?
