I have a page with mixture of static and dynamically added controls is there
any way of controlling the order which they are added to the page. My submit
button (statically added) appears before some textboxes (dynamically added).
I know I could move it around with CSS but I want to move towards an
accessible site that will display forms in the right order without CSS.
Regards, Chris.
 
Even if you are creating controls dynamically, you can always prepare your
layout statically. Drop a table on the form before the buttons and add rows
for the textboxes as you add them.
 
I am designing something which creates forms dynamically bar a submit button
and one or two other controls. A static layout would sort of defeat the
object of doing it dynamically. Regards, Chris.

You can add controls to the container's Control collection with AddAt
method, which lets you specify a specific location in the collection.

What about statically added controls?

They are also in the Controls collection. Inspect it in the debugger, it
will give you a better picture of what is there and in what position.
