Dynamically placing controls/ page items at runtime

[The Crow]

placing runat="server" to the table and and something like ,
table.Rows[4].Cells[3].Controls.Add(lnkButton); , will work.

I have this table on my form which gets populated with data from my
database at runtime. I would like to place some controls (linkbutton,
textbox etc.) beneath the table when it is complete - at the moment the
controls just stay where I place them and the table gets built on top of
them. I have tried searching the net for a solution but being on dial up
its excruciatingly slow and I havent yet found the answer. Please could
someone point me in the right direction...

I am using c# and asp.net

Thanks,
Grant

All web controls inherit from System.Web.UI.Control which has a property
called 'Controls' this is container of controls hosted by the current
control so you can do the following if you had a Panel control on your aspx
page:

....
TextBox myTextBox = new TextBox();
myPanel.Controls.Add(myTextBox);
....

Or since you are displaying information from a database I guess you are
using a DataGrid or Repeater control both of which support header and footer
templates that allow you to add controls as you wish

here is an article on adding controls to the footer of a datagrid

datagrid girl is always a good resource as well:

Did "chris" actually say nothing, or is it just not visible via the MS
web-based newsreader?

Thanks.
