Create new objects in runtime

[MJB3K]

Hi, I am trying to create a new label at runtime and give it a unique reference.

Is this possible? Below is the code i have started with... (although it doesn't work yet)

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    Label label + i = new Label();
}

As you can see, i am tyring to replicate a label and give it a unique name (the 5 could be any number... is this the right way of doing it, or is there a better way?

Regards,

Martin

that works. you would want to assign an ID to the label and add the control to the given collection (Page, table, cell, panel, etc)

this must also happen with each postback.

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
   base.OnInit(e);
   for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
   {
       Label label = new Label();
       label.ID = "dynamicLabel_" + i;
       label.Text = i.ToString();
       Controls.Add(label);
   }
}

this will add 5 controls add append them to the Page.
