Hi everyone,
I created a page which contains a two-column table. The first column has a bunch of labels, and the second a bunch of textboxes. Here's the code:
====================================================== Protected WithEvents Container As System.Web.UI.WebControls.PlaceHolder
Private Sub ConstructEditTable() Container.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<table>" & vbNewLine))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To rows With Container.Controls .Add(New LiteralControl("<tr>" & vbNewLine))
'Label column .Add(New LiteralControl("<td>" & vbNewLine)) label = New Label label.ID = "lbl" & i.ToString label.Text = i.ToString label.EnableViewState = True .Add(label) .Add(New LiteralControl("</td>" & vbNewLine))
'Textbox column .Add(New LiteralControl("<td>" & vbNewLine)) txtTest = New TextBox txtTest.ID = "txt" & i.ToString txtTest.Width = Unit.Pixel(50) txtTest.EnableViewState = True .Add(txtTest) .Add(New LiteralControl("</td>" & vbNewLine)) .Add(New LiteralControl("</tr>" & vbNewLine)) End With Next Container.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("</table>" & vbNewLine)) End Sub ==========================================================
The problem I have is accessing the content of the textboxes after postback. How do I iterate through the controls in Container? Basically, after PostBack, I would like to display the same table but with labels in the second column, instead of textboxes. These labels would display the content of the textboxes entered prior to PostBack.
Any ideas anyone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Dany.

Dany,
I do not know if this is exactly the answer on your question, however you have to construct what you did every time, not only the first time the page is sended, so in every postback in the load event by instance.

I guess that may have something to do with the answer but I can't quite put the two together.
Even if I recreate the whole form as below, what happened to the text entered by users into the textboxes just before the postback? If I recreate the whole thing then a new page will be rendered with the blank textboxes.
i.e.:
============================================ Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles MyBase.Load If Not Me.IsPostBack then ConstructEditTable() else ConstructEditTable() end if End Sub ============================================
I'm trying to get the content of the textboxes after it's first rendered, having users entered various things into them, and post it back.
Does this make sense to anyone? is what I am asking impossible? Surely not............ It sounds like such a simple idea yet I am completely stumped.

You can get the posted data from the Request.params property of the page. Each textbox should result in an additional param.

Aye! The idea came to me at 3am this morning! Thankfully I didn't leap with a "Eureka" and wake the remaining bed occupants up.
I know the naming rules of each textbox and therefore I can reiterate through the list using the same logic I created them with! Simple idea, isn't it? But once I reached 1.30am my brain was too fried.
Thanks for the effort everyone.
D.

Controls are filled with posted values during the ProcessPostData call. Check your page trace, and you'll see that this is called immediately before and after the Page.Load event. So if you create your controls during Page.Load, the controls won't have their posted values until some time after Page.Load exists.
There's a few standard ways around this, which to use depends on what you need to do with the values, and there's pros and cons to each.
Create the controls during Page.Init, then read the values during Load
Create the controls during Page.Load, then read the values either inside event handlers or at PreRender time.
Create the controls during load, and use the Request.Form collection to figure out what the values are during a postback.
ASP.NET isn't particularly fond of dynamic controls. You can use them, but you have to jump through a few hoops to do it.

Dany,
I have placed for this a placeholder and a button on the form.
Than you can try this beneath it is your code a little bit change to make it testable.
I hope this helps?
