Hi Amu,
You need to add your text box inside a PlaceHolder control.
take a Placeholder:

ASP.NET

<asp:placeholder id="plc" runat="server"></asp:placeholder>

And then add your textbox object to PlaceHolder:

C#

TextBox tx1 = new TextBox();
tx1.Text = "Dynamic Textbox";
plc.Controls.Add(tx1);

I hope it will help you.
Good luck.
