Good Morning.

Friends, I would like some help to create a textbox with property ID dynamic.
I need the control ID has the name rescue from database. Something like this:

XML

<asp:TextBox ID='<%# Eval("ST_DESCRICAO") %>'  runat="server" Width="100%">
</asp:TextBox>

and in codebehind:
myDataList.FindControl("nameoftext");
Is it possible? My control is on a DataList.

Thanks.

Absolutely everything in ASP.NET is created dynamically, on HTTP request. You can always generate any HTML output, say, conditionally...

How I could do this?
Could you send me a example using DataList, please?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 11-Sep-13 11:26am

Send?! send what?

[DataContract(Namespace = myNamespace)]
class MyList {
   internal List { get { return list; } }
   [DataMember]
   System.Collection.Generic.List<MyListItem> = new System.Collection.Generic.List<MyListItem>()
   //...
}

[DataContract(Namespace = myNamespace)]
class MyListItem { /* ... */ }

And so on...

Solution 1

You can always add it dynamically like this

C#

TextBox tb=new TextBox();
tb.ID = //get ID from database;

Hope this helps

textbox2.ID = "textbox2";
textbox2.Style["Position"] = "Absolute";
textbox2.Style["Top"] = "40px";
textbox2.Style["Left"] = "110px";

It can be something like

C#

[DataContract(Namespace = myNamespace)]
class MyList {
    internal List { get { return list; } }
    [DataMember] System.Collection.Generic.List<MyListItem> = new System.Collection.Generic.List<mylistitem>();
    //...
}

//...

[DataContract(Namespace = myNamespace)]
class MyListItem { /* ... */ }

And so on...
