What's the best approach for creating controls at run-time. I am trying to create a variable number of dropdowns. The number required, the labels and the data source are only known at run-time and created in some separate vb code. Does anyone know how to do this? Or know of any good examples? Even a few keywords to search the web for would help.

Thanks for any help.

Use the following code:
   Label lbl = new Label();
   lbl.Text = "test";

   this.form1.Controls.Add(lbl);

Note that if you want to use this labes out side the creating function you should define it as a global verible

Nothing is impossible. The impossible only takes longer. "Digital Fortress, Dan Brown"

Hi Rob,
suppose u hav to add some Label to a placeholder control:
private void CtreateNew(int iCount)
{
Label lblToAdd= new Label ();
lblToAdd.ID = "lbl" + iCount;
plshSelect.Controls.Add(lblToAdd); // Placeholder to add
}

Regards,
