How to programmatically adding a label control into a web form?

Question

Hi all,

How do I add a label next to a textbox during runtime in asp.net? Unlike window form, I can't set the location of the control. So how do I instantiate a label and set the location next to a declared textbox?

Or may be adding a string like "<span>my message</span>" next to the textbox will work for me as well.

Thank you.

Answer 1

The easiest thing to do is to put a regular label control on the webform at the desired location and manage its visibility in the code behind.

Answer 2

Take a look at this MSDN page: Adding Controls to a Web Forms Page Programmatically

Using the AddAt method will allow you to position the control within the control tree structure of the page.

You have a lot of control over how you can add controls dynamically to a page.
