Hello,

What you are asking for is not too difficult to help you with, but it is a little ambiguous.Whatever example I make is likely to miss the mark you would like or be too generic to help you.

1) You want the table to be made in code behind with the textboxes and added to a container on the page?

2) Where do you want the textboxes? One in each table cell? One per row? How many rows/columns of data in table? Is there other data that needs placed into the table?

I will post a simple example and maybe that will help? The HTML output of the sample is simply this:

<table>
<tr>
<td><input name="txtbox1" type="text" value="Some Text" id="txtbox1" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

CODE BEHIND************
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            HtmlTable tbl = new HtmlTable();
            tbl.Rows.Add(new HtmlTableRow());
            tbl.Rows[0].Cells.Add(new HtmlTableCell());
            TextBox txtbox = new TextBox();
            txtbox.ID = "txtbox1";
            txtbox.Text = "Some Text";
 
            tbl.Rows[0].Cells[0].Controls.Add(txtbox);
 
            ph1.Controls.Add(tbl);
 
        }
    }
}

Great - thanks, What is the purpose for putting it in
if (!IsPostBack)
        {
code
}

?

If we put under a
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<input id="Text1" type="text" />  
</form>

it persist during a postback.  how to code the equivalent? thanks

 

by: ddayx10Posted on 2009-05-21 at 16:54:41ID: 24446896

I put the code sample in an !PostBack block because there was no need to rebuild the control every time the page posted back. Sometimes that might not be the case...you can pretty much ignore that code if you like.

I'm really sorry if you have a larger question there. I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking.

Put one lable on the web page
say
<asp:Label id="Label1" text="" runat="server"/>

in code behind just write
Label1.text=" <input type='text' value='" + "your value" + "' />";
in the same way you can also add table and tr to the lable

 

by: goodkPosted on 2009-05-22 at 05:26:41ID: 24450085

but I do not know how many entries I will be making in a table. It is a report.

Anyway, the following persist during post back if put on the page,
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<table><tr><td>
<input id="Text1" type="text" />  
</td></td></table>
</form>

What is an equavalent of this in code?  I want to know specially about postback??

I'm going to be blunt here. I'm going away for the weekend and can't continue to follow up on this.

Your original question was this:
****How to display the TextBox****
****I want to create and display a table with the text boxes as above.  How do I do that?****

I'm not sure what you are asking about the postback. I mentioned above you do not need that part of the code. I simply typed left it in on accident and it has no bearing here.

I think what you might want is the ability to fill in a line then commit it to a table after pressing a button or something, until you have built an entire report in html? I honestly don't know though.

Think about what it is you are trying to do specifically. Try to clearly present that in a posting...probably a new one with more clear expectations, and give it a whirl :)
