How to Add a div contains asp Label from code behind in asp.net

Anonymous User 2404 07-Jan-2015

I tried to add a div which contains an asp:Label on a button click event.
The following code which I used. CODE

string htmlString = "<div><asp:Label ID=\"l1\" runat=\"server\" Text=\"WELCOME\"></asp:Label></div>";

Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(htmlString));

But I am not able to view that particular div.
Please try to solve me this.

Thanks in advance.

Adding the markup for a server control like that will not process the server control but simply will put that markup in the produced HTML

You can use a HTmlGenericControl to do that

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
 
Label lbl = new Label();
lbl.Text = "WELCOME";
 
HtmlGenericControl div = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
 
div.Controls.Add(lbl);
Panel1.Controls.Add(div);
To add a DataList inside the div you can do the following
DataList dl = new DataList();
//Init your DataList here 
dl.DataSource = dt; // `dt` is a DataTable with my data
dl.DataBind()
 
HtmlGenericControl div = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
 
div.Controls.Add(dl);
Panel1.Controls.Add(div);
