Solution 1

Sure.

C#

TextBox txt = new TextBox();
txt.ID = "txtNew";
txt.Text = "This is a new textbox";
Form.Controls.Add(txt);

That's a simple example but you can adapt to your needs.

Then write the code that will do that. You only asked if it was possible and the answer is "yes"

Can you clarify? I do not understand your problem.

ZurdoDev 25-Feb-13 9:37am

OK, so one will have an id of txt1 and the other txt2, for example.

Hi,
Try this:

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    AddDynamicTextBox(5);
}

public void AddDynamicTextBox(int numberOfTextBoxes)
{
    for (int i = 0; i <= numberOfTextBoxes; ++i)
    {
        TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
        textBox.Name = "TextBox" + i.ToString();
        textBox.Text = "TextBox" + i.ToString();
        textBox.Location = new Point(20, i * 20);
        this.Controls.Add(textBox);
    }
}

The "numberOfTextBoxes" you will defined from your input. One thing you need to be careful of is the location, if you do not give location value, the control will add each text box on top of each other so it will look like there is only one text box.

Regards
Jegan

Solution 2

Hi,

Use the on button Click event

TextBox TextBox1 = new TextBox();
TextBox1.ID = "txt_1" ;

TextBox1.MaxLength = 50;

//Add Style
TextBox1.Style.Add("width", "200px");

TextBox1.Width = 50;
this.Controls.Add(TextBox1);

This is not an answer to your question. And this code would not work anyway. You are simply creating a new TextBox, then creating a new instance of Form, adding the newly created TextBox to your newly created Form and then throwing it all away as your button click handler ends and the local variables that you created go out of scope.
