Howdy,

I am trying to build a table row dynamically from a table that I positioned on a web form. The table name is "MarketTable" Here is the code:

Partial Class Default2
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Private WithEvents MarketTable As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table

    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim tr As New TableRow

        MarketTable.Rows.Add(tr)
    End Sub
End Class

When I run the code, I get the following error:
Use the "new" keyword to create an object instance.

Any suggestions?

I fugured out the problem. My anchor on the web page was not in the proper format. Here is the successful anchor I used. By doing this, it allowed me to access the properties of the table in the code.

<asp:Table ID ="MarketTable" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" style="z-index: 102; left: 302px; position: absolute; top: 107px" runat="server"></asp:Table>

Before, I simply creating a table on the page, through the interface tools. That didn't work. This anchor looks like this:

    <table id="suckit">
        </table>

This is the third straight post I've made on p2p.wrox forums with no reply. I'm starting to get worried about this place.

Hi nikotromus,
I use this forum heaps and have always found the replies to be prompt and very helpful.
But there are a couple of things that make it easier for people to reply.

1) Use the forum closest to your needs, in this case I feel you would have had a better response from an ASP.NET forum rather than general .NET .
2) Explain your problem in its entirity, in your case the html for the table would have provided an instant response in the ASP.NET forum, as with any controls on a ASP.NET page they must be identifies as ASP.NET controls and not HTML controls and also must have the runat="server" attribute as you are now aware.

Hope you have better luck next time.
