Dynamically declare Datagrid using variable? 1

[rborel]

Is it at all possible to dynamically create a Datagrid using a variable as it's name? I have tried and am either not doing something correct or it cannot be done. Please help. I have tried the following with no success.


Private Sub brunTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles brunTest.Click
Dim i As Integer
Dim strA As String
Dim strAi As String
strA = "dgDataGrid"
For i = 0 To 10
strAi = strA & i
Dim strAi as new Datagrid
Response.Write(strAi)
Response.Write("<br>")
Next
End Sub

You'll have to set the "name" of the DataGrid by setting it's ID attribute e.g.

Dim newDG as New DataGrid
newDG.ID = myVariable

c,
So, I can create multiple datagrids by Dim'ing only newDG?

More of the story. . .

I have an array that I would like to be able to read out and only create the datagrid if there is data from a query to fill the datagrid.

Thanks for the information

Yes, sort of. e.g.

            Dim newDG As DataGrid
            For i As Integer = 0 To 10
                newDG = New DataGrid
                newDG.ID = "myDG" & i
                Me.Controls.Add(newDG)
            Next

BTW:
thanks for the help

Yes, you are declaring the DataGrid inside the loop whereas I declared mine outside.

You need to declare a NEW datagrid

Dim newDG as New DataGrid

My bad, thanks for the help. Now I just need to figure how to integrate it into the rest of my code.
