Hi,

I have a dropdown list,panel and a button control in a windows form
The dropdown list items will be 1,2,3.
So when i select any of the value from dropdown list i want a panel with textbox to be created and add the dynamically created panel to the already existing panel based on the items value in dropdown
i.e., if i select 2 ,then two panels should be added to the main panel.
Can anybody help me out of this.
*** Default one panel will be static in the main panel.So when i give 2 it should have 2 panels including the one which is already present.
Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Just create them, and add them to the existing Panel.Controls list:

C#

Panel p1 = new Panel();
Panel p2 = new Panel();
myPanelInMainForm.Controls.Add(p1);
myPanelInMainForm.Controls.Add(p2);

You will probably want to set the size, and location, but that's trivial...

OriginalGriff, if i understand, Op want to create panels dynamicly. You have showed him "static" panel creation. ;)
Would it be better to use List(of Panel)?

Possibly - it depends on the OP application.
The trouble is that if you put too much info in, it ends up confusing rather than helping - particularly when you don't have any code to start from! :laugh:

Solution 2

I think OriginalGriff's answer is complete but just want to add a little twist. Since you're working with Forms have you noticed that you have some generated code in the ..Designer.cs? Have a look at that code and you'll notice how Visual Studio actually adds the controls on your forms. You can use the same principles in your code also :)
