Hi,

I am trying to do design in code behind file. Suppose --

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<div id='dv1' runat='server' style='margin-top: 15px;'>
Test Content
<div>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is design page, but I am trying it in code behind file like this --

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl dv1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV");
dv1.ID = "dv1";
dv1.Style.Add("margin-top", "15px");
this.Controls.Add(dv1);

public string str1 += dv1
public string str1 += "Test Content"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

str1 is my public string which will be used in aspx design. Now the question is how to close this div element and how can I put my other controls between starting div tag and ending div tag.

Thanks in advance.

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl dv1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV"); To adding other controls to your div you can use the below codes //You can add your controls here //Sample Example for text box TextBox objtxtbox = new TextBox(); objtxtbox.ID = "txtbox1"; dv1.Controls.Add(objtxtbox); One thing you need to note here when you add controls to div you need to ensure that the div is added to form. //Add your div to your form in page form1.Controls.Add(dv1); Assuming that you have form tag in your page like given below <form id="form1" runat="server"> </form> Complete Code is given below System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl dv1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV"); dv1.ID = "dv1"; dv1.Style.Add("margin-top", "15px"); //Assigning your text to div here dv1.InnerText = "Text Content"; //You can add your controls here //Sample Example for text box TextBox objtxtbox = new TextBox(); objtxtbox.ID = "txtbox1"; dv1.Controls.Add(objtxtbox); //Add your div to your form in page form1.Controls.Add(dv1); Thanks, A2H My Blog pranaykssoftech-26135, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi,
When you use the below line of code to generate div you don't need to worry about closing tags.It render with closing tags at runtime.

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl dv1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV");

To adding other controls to your div you can use the below codes

//You can add your controls here
            //Sample Example for text box
            TextBox objtxtbox = new TextBox();
            objtxtbox.ID = "txtbox1";
            dv1.Controls.Add(objtxtbox);

One thing you need to note here when you add controls to div you need to ensure that the div is added to form.

//Add your div to your form in page
            form1.Controls.Add(dv1);

Assuming that you have form tag in your page like given below

<form id="form1" runat="server"> 
</form>

Complete Code is given below

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl dv1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("DIV");
            dv1.ID = "dv1"; 
            dv1.Style.Add("margin-top", "15px");
            //Assigning your text to div here
            dv1.InnerText = "Text Content";
            //You can add your controls here
            //Sample Example for text box
            TextBox objtxtbox = new TextBox();
            objtxtbox.ID = "txtbox1";
            dv1.Controls.Add(objtxtbox);
            //Add your div to your form in page
            form1.Controls.Add(dv1);

Thanks,
