Where to generate literal controls

S

Scott M.

I'm not sure where I should be placing the code that creates my literal
controls. They are rendering but AFTER the close of the HTML tag.

I've tried Load, Init, PreLoad, PreInit, PreRender and get the same result
each time:

Example code:

Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<div>"))
Dim lblItem As New Label
lblItem.Text = ("<p>") & item.Element("title").Value
lblItem.Font.Bold = True
lblItem.Style.Item("display") = "block"
lblItem.Style.Item("width") = "350px"
Controls.Add(lblItem)

--Try to add a panel on the aspx page where u want all these literal
controls in the page...

let the panel u inserted in ur page is "asppanel1"
then u can add those literal controls as asppanel1.controls.Add(New
LiteralControl("<h1>"+(any thing u wanna display)+"</h1>"))
and u can place these this on "pageLoad" method....

I wanted to produce html output within the <body><form and </form></body>,
but instead was getting all my controls in the output, following the
</html>.

The problem is solved now, though. I did add a panel control at design-time
and then added my literals to that at run-time.

Thanks.

Can you show the html output you want to produce and what is the code
actually producing?

Ok. Just note that there is a server control specially made for that
purpose. It is called PlaceHolder.
