Hello all,

   I am creating a form by adding controls dynamically. One of my controls is a DataGrid which has about 20 rows. In the past when not creating the form dynamically, I put the grid inside of a <DIV> tag so that I can have scroll bars to appear. I know the <DIV> tag is HTML, but is there anyway to add it at run time, around my grid, or am I way off here? Thanks for any help and suggestions.

Why are you creating the form dynamically, rather than adding information to it dynamically?
You can change the contents of a div on the fly...

The application builds a questionair.. there are differnt kinds. So the page actually a user contol adds questins and controls dynamically

The div tag is just an instance of the HtmlGenericControl class. You can add it like any other control.

Hey Peter

I noticed this control in my trips through the help files. However it seems, from the examples I have seen, that you have to place the control on the form first before you can access it but I need to add it at run time.
EX.

Me.Controls.Add( Add some controls here)
I want to add the DIV here (Me.Controls.Add( <DIV>) ??????
Me.Controls.Add( new DataGrid)
Add </DIV> here....

Can this be done?

Any help would be great.

Thanks again!!
Jim

Peter... thanks again for your help. I finally got it!!!

        Dim mydiv As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl
        mydiv = New System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV ")

        Me.Controls.Add(mydiv)

I just realized on problem however. By adding this code I get <DIV></DIV>

What I need is this

<DIV>
a datagrid here
</DIV>

Any Ideas????

Nevermind, sorry, I figured it out.
Just added the controls I wanted to the collection of the div.
