That will be more simpler. Any way, you will have to create as many Literal Controls as there are textboxs and put it between textboxs to insert some text/html markup between them. You can take out the code inside the button's click and put it in a method and call it from both the page_load and the button_click.

ive tried putting
after the tb.Text = row["fieldname"].ToString() + "
"; but this doesnt work.modified on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 9:04 AM
That would not work as your appending text to the textbox, and browser will not parse it while rendering. As I said, creating literal controls and adding them between textboxs is the way to go if you don't want to use repeater/Datagrid. Can you paste the code which you are using to add these textboxs to the page? Then I may be able to suggest the code to you.

Change the line
lb.Text = row["field"].ToString();
to
lb.Text = "
" + row["field"].ToString();This will add a line break before every label. HTH

it throws up an error: should it be like: lb.Text = " " + row["field"].ToString(); or lb.Text = "" + row["field"].ToString();
The complete statement should be in a single line. And the quotes should not be empty, it should contain <br /> The line will be:
lb.Text = "<br />" + row["field"].ToString();
I didn't formatted the code correctly last time, sorry. You can insert any html markup there, since you want a line break, use <br /> Goodluck.

I am trying to create a function which creates a certain amount of textboxes depending on how many are in the datatable. I have the following code so far: foreach (DataRow row in dataSetselectactivities.Tables[0].Rows) { TextBox tb = new TextBox(); tb.Visible = true; } but how would I add a new value to the textbox for each row, would it be something like tb.text += dttablevalue any help would be great thanks
I am pasting the complete code:
foreach (DataRow row in dataSetselect.Tables[0].Rows)
{
lb = new Label();
tb = new TextBox();
lb.Text = "<br />" + row["field"].ToString();
tb.Text = row["field"].ToString();
TextBoxesHere.Controls.Add(lb);
TextBoxesHere.Controls.Add(tb);
}Is it the same code as what you are using?

No that doesn work either, all that does is put the
in the actual textbox as text. I need to add it afterwards but not sure of the syntax Thanks anywayInstead of label you can use a LiteralControl LiteralControl lit=new LiteralControl(); lit.Text="<br />" Textboxhere.controls.add(lit);
EVEN THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE SAYS I M POSSIBLE.
