Solution 1

At the click event of the button do the below :

C#

TextBox myNewtextbox=new TextBox();
pnl.Controls.Add(myNewtextbox);
//where pnl is the panel where you want to add your textbox

Correct. Voted 5. You need to set the Location property to place your control, the Size one for its size and so on.

Thanks Olivier! Yes that's true the OP has to set more properties to place it correctly in the form.

What Tarun suggested is indeed the correct way to do it.

Just on a side note.. You can see how .NET adds controls to your form and what properties it sets, if you look into the designer.cs of a specific form.. If you don't know how to find that, just double click your form GUI, type the name of some control you have already added to the form and right click on it, and click "Definition".. This will take you there :)

Hope this helps

Well, what else? May be adjust docking, padding, top, left, width... OP guesses... :-) A 5.
