Hi,
I need to write an ASP.Net form which will produce the following HTML:
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact Details</legend>
<ol>
<li>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input id="name" name="name" class="text" type="text" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="email">Email address:</label>
<input id="email" name="email" class="text" type="text" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="phone">Telephone:</label>
<input id="phone" name="phone" class="text" type="text" />
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
However, the fields which are to be added to the form will be determined at runtime, so I need to create the fieldset at runtime and add an ordered list and listitems to it, with labels, textboxes, checkboxes etc as appropriate.
I can’t find standard ASP.Net objects which will create these tags.
For instance, I’d like to do something like the following in C#:
FieldSet myFieldSet = new FieldSet();
myFieldSet.Legend = “Contact Details”;
OrderedList myOrderedList = new OrderedList();
ListItem listItem1 = new ListItem();
ListItem listItem2 = new ListItem();
ListItem listItem3 = new ListItem();
// code here which would add labels and textboxes to the ListItems
myOrderedList.Controls.Add(listItem1);
myOrderedList.Controls.Add(listItem2);
myOrderedList.Controls.Add(listItem3);
myFieldSet.Controls.Add(myOrderedList);
Form1.Controls.Add(myFieldSet);
Are there any standard ASP.Net objects which can produce this, or is there some other way of achieving the same result?
