Dynamic Property Page creation - web app in c#


Hi,

I am new to dotNet, i am developing a sample application,
ASP.Net WebApplication 2005 and the coding part i am doing in C#.

In the Default.aspx i would like to create a Property Sheet,
And number of pages(tabs) in this property sheet should be dynamic.
User enters a value say 4 then 4 Pages should be in the Created when submit button
is cliked.

I would to know how can solve this problem.

What i have in mind is have a System.Windows.Controls.TabControl()
then add items to it in a loop.
How can it be implement as a web control using C#

Any code snippet,suggestion,Ideas ......

    Hi Galin Iliev,

    Hi Galin Iliev,

    Your erailer answer using ASP .Net Ajax seems to be a better solution, but doing that i face the problem of loading the tabs dynamically get the error as value out of range ( same as the one mentioned here http://forums.asp.net/thread/1578910.aspx)

    I think there is a bug in the Ajax tool Kit for the Tab Control, are you aware of how to over come this ...
    any idea in this regards would be welcomed.

    regards,

    This is another trap you got in. It is bit tricky to create dynamically ASP.NET controls.

    it would be same if you try to create textboxes by clicking a button. This is because ASP.NET page lifecycle.

    You need to do:

    • Preserve state of each control in some collection (saved in ViewState or SessionState )
    • Recreate all to controls (tabs) in Page_PreInit event according collection from previous point.
    • Add code to button's handler that add another item in collection (will be used in next postback) and create a control (to be visible right after the event)

    Hope this helps

    You need Web control not Windows one.

    Take a look at MS ASP.NET Ajax and Tabs Control form the toolkit.

    Hope this helps
