By changing the data source to contain the questions and answers you want it to, and then writing code that can bind to that data source. There's no controls to add dynamically here, you're showing data in a databound control, so you just need to change the data. I'd expect this would be a data bound control for each question, with a databound control inside it for an arbitrary number of answers. Hard to say more, as you give no clues what you're using ( WPF, winforms, silverlight, ASP.NET, MVC, etc )

So to add a control, you just create it, set it's position ( top, width etc ) and add it to the form's 'controls' collection, as in this.Controls.Add(x);. But again, you should not need to do that
