Question

I am working on a hrms project in which I have to make the program for time sheet.

I need to take starting date and ending date from the user and depending on the difference of the two dates i have to generate textboxes fro entering time dynamically.that too in the specified place.

can anybody help me out.

Answer 1

I have done something very similar to that. Basically, I create a HTML table and create as many columns as needed and create a TextBox in each of those columns like this:

myColumn.InnerHtml = "<table>";
        int length = THE NUMBER OF TEXTBOXES YOU WANT TO ADD BASED ON THE DATES;
        int i = 1;
        while (i <= length)
        {
            myColumn.InnerHtml += "<tr>";
            myColumn.InnerHtml += "<td><input id='whatever" + i.ToString() + "' type='text' runat='server'></td>";
            unavailableColumn.InnerHtml += "</tr>";
            i++;
        }
        unavailableColumn.InnerHtml += "</table>";

myColumn is declared in the aspx like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td id="myColumn" runat="server" visible="false" style="width: 35%; vertical-align: top">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

This code should be added when you have entered the two dates, in order to create the textboxes dynamically. Hope this helps!
