10 buttons & when each button clicked, calls function .
i used:

Button btn = new Button();
btn.Text = "Click Me";
btn.Click += new System.EventHandler(button_click);
Panel1.Controls.Add(btn);

it works but i want some thing like loop to create all ten buttons.

Thanks

why don't put the above code in a loop up to ten?. Add the loop increment counter to the button name. Then in the button click function check the sender's name and execute the approptiate logic.

Solution 1

Try:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   {
   Button btn = new Button();
   btn.Text = "Click Me" + i.ToString();
   btn.Top = i * 20;
   btn.Click += new System.EventHandler(button_click);
   Panel1.Controls.Add(btn);
   }

Simple as that, my 5.
(Well, I understand this is only a simple example, but btn.Top should be something "like i * btn.Height + verticalGap")

I know, I know! I only put that bit in so that they wouldn't be on top of each other and the OP could see them... :laugh:

That's why I voted 5 anyway, assuming you simply didn't care :-)
