changing state of drop down list

[luna]

is there a way of changing the state of a drop down list to a text box
depending on criteria ?
i could create a drop down list and a text box list in the same posistion
and change the visibility on criteria
- just wondered if there was another way

thanks

You create the controls at run time rather in the design time....

You can try that....

no, they are two different controls, you can 'transform' one into the other.

Sure

// HTML
<form id=frmMain method=post runat="server">
<aspanel ID="pnl" Runat="server">
</aspanel>
</form>

// Code
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (true)
{
DropDownList list = new DropDownList();
list.Items.Add(new ListItem("text", "1"));
list.Items.Add(new ListItem("text", "2"));
pnl.Controls.Add(list);
}
else
{
TextBox txt = new TextBox();
pnl.Controls.Add(txt);
}
}
