Add array of controls to an aspx page

Question

I\'m trying to add an array of controls to an aspx page (C# code behind). These are the similar controls (search criteria for separate fields but will have the same values)

Answer 1

Like @Mark Cidade says your best approach would be to create the controls in the code behind. They are just classes after all.

The simplest approach would be to put a control such as a placeHolder control on in the markup and then create a collection of dropdown lists in a loop, assinging each one a unique id like @Mark Cidade says.

From there it's a matter of adding them as child controls to the placeHolder or if you want them directly on the page you can add them to the page controls collection.
