Creating web controls programatically

[ehx6]

hi,

Is it possible to write a function to create a an aspx page which contains web server controls.( like <asp:Label <aspropDownList ) then same function would also create the code behind. I am not sure if this is doable. I appreciate your feedback.

You can do it all in code-behind. You create the controls, initialize their properties, and add them to the Page.Controls collection.

Then, on PostBack, you use the .FindControl method to return the control if you need to futher manipulate it.

If you're talking about code generation, yes you can do that, too. Of course, if you want the page included you have to re-compile the application.

Thanks, BoulderBum - after reading your post I think he is talking about code generation.
