Display ASP.Net Tables (markup) from VB.Net (code behind) through ASP Literal in PassThrough
Posted on 2012-12-26
I would like to dynamically create ASP tables using VB to dynamically populate the data and provide unique IDs and then assign it to a Literal in Passthrough mode.
How can I go about qualifying my code with quotation marks around ASP parameters and having VB.Net accept/concatinate my string properly? I know the vb is being triggered because I also have a label change.
Sample of my code:
I'm not an expert in ASP, so if there is a better way for me to do this can you please provide some examples. I am trying to keep it all in the code behind because I will also be pulling in data from multiple MS SQL queries and have Create/Update/Delete tied into it.
Thank you.

...is not going to work. You cannot create server-side controls via a string. Such controls need to be present in the markup at the time the view engine runs. Aside from that, your approach seems complicated. Why not just create a table in your code-behind?
e.g.
Code-behind
Markup
htmlText = "<asp:TableRow ID=""TR1C" & intC.ToString() & """>"
