Create ASP.NET Controls dynamically using C# and Vb.Net

While working in ASP.NET, its sometime needed to create ASP.Net control dynamically. We can create control in code behind file by using code.

In this article I will explain how to create controls dynamically using c# code or vb.net code. Dynamic controls are created on runtime and added to the page.

Create ” Label”  Control:

Using C#:

  Label lblname = new Label();

  lblname.ID = "lblname";

  lblname.Text = "Create Label :";

Using  VB:

Dim lblname As New Label()

lblname.ID = "lblname"

lblname.Text = "Useranme :"

Add the label to the form

Using  C#:-

this.form1.Controls.Add(lblname); 

Using  VB:-

Me.form1.Controls.Add(lblname)

Create a dynamic Textbox

Using  C#:-

TextBox txtname = new TextBox();

txtname.ID = "txtname";

Using  VB:-

Dim txtname As New TextBox()

txtname.ID = "txtname"

Add the textbox to the form  

Using  C#:-

this.form1.Controls.Add(txtname);

Using  VB:-

Me.form1.Controls.Add(txtname)

Create a dynamic Button

Using  C#:-

Button button = new Button();

button.ID = "btnsubmit";

button.Text = "Submit";

Using  VB:-

Dim Button As New Button()

Button.ID = "btnsubmit"

Button.Text = "Submit"

Create Event Handler

Using  C#:-

button.Click += new System.EventHandler(btnsubmit_Click);

Using  VB:-

AddHandler Button.Click, AddressOf btnsubmit_Click

Add “Button” Control:

Using  C#:-

this.form1.Controls.Add(button);

Using  VB:-

Me.form1.Controls.Add(Button)

In this article we have learned how to create and add controls dynamically. You can use above code as per your requirement.
