how to add textbox dynamically and save in asp.net

Question

I want to add textboxes dynamically and save these values to database in asp.net, Is there any controls for this in asp.net?

how can I do this in asp.net?

Answer 1

To add dynamic control in your .aspx file below is sample code.

Add below div in your .aspx file with id which is addControl

<div id="addControl" runat="server">
</div>

You can create dynamic TextBox control by adding below code in you .cs file. Add Control is a id of above define div.

 TextBox txt1 = new TextBox();
 txt1.ID = "txtOne";
 txt1.Text = "";
 txt1.CssClass = "myClass";
 txt1.ClientIDMode = System.Web.UI.ClientIDMode.Static;
 addControl.Controls.Add(txt1);

With the help of NameValueCollection you can get the value of TextBox.

NameValueCollection frmCollection = Request.Form;
string inputString = frmCollection["txtOne"];

NameValueCollection represents a collection of associated String keys and String values that can be accessed either with the key or with the index.

Answer 2

You can use the Panel to create the Dynamic Text box. Panel pnlTextBox;

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Create a Dynamic Panel
    pnlTextBox = new Panel();
    pnlTextBox.ID = "pnlTextBox";
    pnlTextBox.BorderWidth = 1;
    pnlTextBox.Width = 300;
    this.form1.Controls.Add(pnlTextBox);

    //Create a LinkDynamic Button to Add TextBoxes
    LinkButton btnAddtxt = new LinkButton();
    btnAddtxt.ID = "btnAddTxt";
    btnAddtxt.Text = "Add TextBox";
    btnAddtxt.Click += new System.EventHandler(btnAdd_Click);
    this.form1.Controls.Add(btnAddtxt);

    //Recreate Controls
    RecreateControls("txtDynamic", "TextBox");
}

For saving to DB:

<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="Save" />

C#

protected void Save(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

        string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
        using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr))
        {
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Names(Name) VALUES(@Name)"))
            {
                cmd.Connection = con;
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", txtDynamic.Text);
                con.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
            }
        }

}

Edit

As you mentioned in your Comments that you are using Jquery , so in order to load that during the postbacks try to load the Textbox in

function pageLoad() {// your dynamic Text box code using Jquery}
