Table Web server control in ASP.NET 2.0 (VB.NET)


ASP.NET Controls Tutorial

The Table Web server control allows you to create server-programmable tables on ASP.NET pages. This tutorial will show you how to use Table Web server control in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.

The Table Web server control allows you to create server-programmable tables on ASP.NET pages. The TableRow and TableCell Web server controls provide a way to display the actual content for the Table control. The Table control builds up a table by adding TableRows to the Rows collection of the table, and TableCells to the Cells collection of the row. You can add content to a table cell by adding controls to the Controls collection of the cell.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim numrows As Integer
Dim numcells As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim r As TableRow
Dim c As TableCell

' Generate rows and cells
numrows = CInt(DropDown1.SelectedItem.Value)
numcells = CInt(DropDown2.SelectedItem.Value)

For j = 0 To numrows - 1
r = New TableRow()

For i = 0 To numcells - 1
c = New TableCell()
c.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("row " & j & ", cell " & i))
r.Cells.Add(c)
Next i

Table1.Rows.Add(r)
Next j
End Sub

We chose Server Intellect for its dedicated servers, for our web hosting. They have managed to handle virtually everything for us, from start to finish. And their customer service is stellar.

The front end .aspx page looks something like this:

<body>

<form id="Form1" runat=server>
<fieldset>

<legend>Table Example</legend>
<asp:Table id="Table1" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" CellPadding=5 CellSpacing=0 BorderColor="black" BorderWidth="1" Gridlines="Both" runat="server"/>

<p>
Table rows:
<asp:DropDownList id=DropDown1 runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="1">1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4">4</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

<br>
Table cells:  <asp:DropDownList id=DropDown2 runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="1">1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4">4</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

<p>
<asp:button ID="Button1" Text="Generate Table" runat=server/>
</fieldset>
</form>

</body>

If you're looking for a really good web host, try Server Intellect - we found the setup procedure and control panel, very easy to adapt to and their IT team is awesome!

The flow for the code behind page is as follows

Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim numrows As Integer
Dim numcells As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim r As TableRow
Dim c As TableCell

' Generate rows and cells
numrows = CInt(DropDown1.SelectedItem.Value)
numcells = CInt(DropDown2.SelectedItem.Value)

For j = 0 To numrows - 1
r = New TableRow()
For i = 0 To numcells - 1
c = New TableCell()
c.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("row " & j & ", cell " & i))
r.Cells.Add(c)
Next i
Table1.Rows.Add(r)
Next j
End Sub
End Class
