Hi,

What I would like to do is have a different number of controls on a web form
based on a users configuration. So, some users will need 5 textboxes, and
some will only need 1. I don't want to use the .visible property, and
design a form that always has the maximum # of textboxes on it. Is it
possible to dim an object as a new control, and then dynamically place it on
the web form when the page loads?

Thanks,

Steve
 
Yes, it most certainly is. And there are about a half-dozen ways to do it,
depending upon your app's requirements.

Ok, Great ! So how about just one of them? I know dim'ing an object works,
but there doesn't appear to be top & left properties, so how do I place
them?

Thanks,

Well, Steve, it's a can of worms. Not exactly something I could write a
couple of paragraphs on and send you on your way. Instead, I'm sending a
link to the freely downloadable Microsoft .Net SDK, which will tell you
everything you need to know about this and probably any other question you
can come up with.

If, after checking out the SDK, you have any specific questions, come on
back. Happy Holidays!
