Hi Geo,
As for dynamic ASP.NET server controls, both Page_Init and Page_Load is the
possible place to create and add them. However, Init is the prefered one
since the Page haven't begun loading viewstate at that time.... So the
general steps for creating dynamic webcontrols and retrieve values from
them in other events are:
1. creating them in Page Init or Load events and add them into page's
control collection/hierarchy...
2. In page's post back events (not init or load events) , read their
properties, since at that time, we can ensure the dynamic controls are
created and have restored their properties from viewstate and the posted
values....
Here is a kb article mentioned create dynamic server controls in asp.net

| Thanks for your input Ranjan, perhaps I wasn't very clear.
|
| They are server controls, since they are created in code. It would be
much
| easier if I could define them declaratively, however, I don't know before
| the request is made, based upon the Query string and what that points to
in
| the database, what the page should contain.
|
| Having looked into this further, it looks like the page life cycle might
| hold the answer. Perhaps I should create the controls in another page
event
| other than Page_Load??
|
| Basically, I need to know how to create controls dynamically so that I
can
| get the values out on the postback.
|
| TIA,
| geo
