Dynamic forms

[sroberts82]

Hi I was just wondering if someone could help me. I have an aspx page and on the code behind page I get a variable from the database. Whatever this returned variable is, call it x. I want to have x fields on my form to upload files to the webserver. I tried using

Response.Write("<input type=\"file\" runat=\"server\" size=\"50\" id=\"file1\" name=\"file" + x + "\" />
");

And the things all show up on the page grand, but they dont seem to submit the files. They are not available on the request object on the server side. Any ideas why? or is there a better way to do this? Ive had a good hunt on the web, but still cant figure it out. Thank you again
Stephen

You shouldn't ever use Response.Write to write anything out to the page (for testing purposes it's OK though). Instead, try creating a new HTML control (in your case a file input control) and add to a part of your page (e.g. a panel).

Thanksfor that. Im trying to add stuff to the panel now, but how do I format it? Basically I just want to add basic html to it. thank you in advance,

You can either create the HTML at design time and add the necessary controls at runtime, or if you really need to create HTML at runtime then try creating a new Literal control and adding the HTML to that.
