# Get Data from a table which has been generated programmatically
I am creating a [Control](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/197/asp-dot-net-repeater-control) Table programmatically and I want after [user clicks](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/34556/if-a-user-clicks-all-the-google-ads-on-my-site-is-it-foul) a [button](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/63/how-to-add-button-in-datagridview-in-csharp-dot-net) to get the values.
The table has three columns, {Title([DropDownList](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/324837/how-to-bind-dropdownlist-in-mvc-core-from-database-using-entity-framework)), FName([TextBox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12714/dynamic-textbox-in-gridview)), LName(TextBox)} and two rows.
I [am getting](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34179/i-am-getting-error-while-assigning-the-data-to-the-array-list) the values for FName, LName without [problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic), but I am getting wrong value for Title, which is a DropDownList. It gives me for both Titles, the [selected value](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/525/get-selected-value-of-datagridviewcomboboxcolumn) of the second column.
More Clear,
For the 1st row --> Mr, Foo, Bar
for 2nd row- -> Mrs, Foo, Bar
after user clicks the button I am getting
For 1st row --> Mrs, Foo, Bar
For 2nd row- -> Mrs, Foo1, Bar.
This is the method of [table creation](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156741/why-are-use-the-sql-check-constraint-in-the-database-at-table-creation)
```
private void SetPassengerDetailsTable(int roomIdentity, int? adults, int? children, int? infants, bool setLeader = false) { var leaderIsSet = false; var roomTable = new Table(); roomTable.ID = "PassengerDetailsTBL_" + roomIdentity; var trHeader = new TableHeaderRow(); var tcTitle = new TableCell(); tcTitle.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "Title" }); trHeader.Cells.Add(tcTitle); var tcFName = new TableCell(); tcFName.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "First Name" }); trHeader.Cells.Add(tcFName); var tcLName = new TableCell(); tcLName.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "Last Name" }); trHeader.Cells.Add(tcLName); var tcType = new TableCell(); tcType.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "" }); trHeader.Cells.Add(tcType); roomTable.Rows.Add(trHeader); var listItems = new ListItem[6]; listItems[0] = new ListItem("", "") { Selected = true }; listItems[1] = new ListItem("Mr", "Mr"); listItems[2] = new ListItem("Mrs", "Mrs"); listItems[3] = new ListItem("Miss", "Miss"); listItems[4] = new ListItem("Infant", "Inf"); listItems[5] = new ListItem("Child", "Master"); if (adults != null || adults > 0) { for (int i = 1; i <= adults; i++) { var trBody = new TableRow(); var ddl = new DropDownList(); var leadAdultRowID = setLeader && !leaderIsSet ? "leadadult" : "adult"; ddl.ID = "room" + roomIdentity + leadAdultRowID + i + "Title"; ddl.Items.AddRange(listItems); var tcTitleValue = new TableCell(); tcTitleValue.Controls.Add(ddl); trBody.Cells.Add(tcTitleValue); var tcFNameValue = new TableCell(); tcFNameValue.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "adult" + i + "FName", Width = 170 }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcFNameValue); var tcLNameValue = new TableCell(); tcLNameValue.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "adult" + i + "LName", Width = 170 }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcLNameValue); var tcTypeValue = new TableCell(); var leadAdult = setLeader && !leaderIsSet ? "Lead Adult" : "Adult"; tcTypeValue.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = leadAdult }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcTypeValue); roomTable.Rows.Add(trBody); if (setLeader) leaderIsSet = true; } } if (children != null || children > 0) { for (int i = 1; i <= children; i++) { var trBody = new TableRow(); var ddl = new DropDownList(); ddl.ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "child" + i + "Title"; ddl.Items.AddRange(listItems); var tcTitleValue = new TableCell(); tcTitleValue.Controls.Add(ddl); trBody.Cells.Add(tcTitleValue); var tcFNameValue = new TableCell(); tcFNameValue.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "child" + i + "FName", Width = 170 }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcFNameValue); var tcLNameValue = new TableCell(); tcLNameValue.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "child" + i + "LName", Width = 170 }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcLNameValue); var tcTypeValue = new TableCell(); tcTypeValue.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "Child" }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcTypeValue); roomTable.Rows.Add(trBody); } } if (infants != null || infants > 0) { for (int i = 1; i <= infants; i++) { var trBody = new TableRow(); var ddl = new DropDownList(); ddl.ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "infan" + i + "Title"; ddl.Items.AddRange(listItems); var tcTitleValue = new TableCell(); tcTitleValue.Controls.Add(ddl); trBody.Cells.Add(tcTitleValue); var tcFNameValue = new TableCell(); tcFNameValue.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "infan" + i + "FName", Width = 170 }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcFNameValue); var tcLNameValue = new TableCell(); tcLNameValue.Controls.Add(new TextBox() { ID = "room" + roomIdentity + "infan" + i + "LName", Width = 170 }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcLNameValue); var tcTypeValue = new TableCell(); tcTypeValue.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "Infant" }); trBody.Cells.Add(tcTypeValue); roomTable.Rows.Add(trBody); } } PassengerDetailsPH.Controls.Add(roomTable); }
```
Thanks

Hi Goti, \
create a new listItems list for every instance of the DropDownList
var ddlItems = listItems.ToArray();
ddl.Items.Addrange(ddlItems);
