Dynamically Add textbox control on button click in windows application using C#.net and VB.net

This article will show you  how you can add a testbox control one by one on button click and display it on groupbox in windows application using c#.net and vb.net. In this in each textbox I have added datetime as text.

Some of my previous articles are as follows: Paging in DataGridview Using C#.Net In Windows Application, Show Progressbar While Moving Folder File From One Directory To Other Using C#.Net In Windows Application, Windows Application - Excel Sheet Name in C#.Net.

So for this article first we will create a new windows application and add button and a group box control. After adding controls your form will look as shown below.

Now add the below code into your page.

C#.Net

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 {     public partial class Form1 : Form     {         public Form1()         {             InitializeComponent();         }         int xaxis = 0;         int yaxis = 0;         private void btnadd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)         {             TextBox _objtextbox = new TextBox();             _objtextbox.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();             _objtextbox.Width = 200;             xaxis = 10;             yaxis = yaxis + 30;             _objtextbox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(xaxis, yaxis);             groupBox1.Controls.Add(_objtextbox);         }     } }

VB.Net

Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Data Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Linq Imports System.Text Imports System.Windows.Forms Namespace WindowsFormsApplication1     Partial Public Class Form1         Inherits Form         Public Sub New()             InitializeComponent()         End Sub         Private xaxis As Integer = 0         Private yaxis As Integer = 0         Private Sub btnadd_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)             Dim _objtextbox As New TextBox()             _objtextbox.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString()             _objtextbox.Width = 200             xaxis = 10             yaxis = yaxis + 30             _objtextbox.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(xaxis, yaxis)             groupBox1.Controls.Add(_objtextbox)         End Sub     End Class End Namespace

Now we have done run the application.
