Question

I have a asp.net web site that contains some tables. However these are not asp:Table i.e. they are simple HTML tables built this way:

 <table><tr><td></td></tr></table> 

Now I would like to know if it’s possible to add rows dynamically to this table from the code behind (i.e. C#) and if yes, how do I go about doing it?

Answer 1

It’s been a while but there is the repeater-control in ASP.NET Webforms for this kind of stuff.

Here is a nice article introducing this conept: Data Repeater Controls in ASP.NET

I think this will be easier for you than hacking this with AJAX/JScript

Aside from this: Daniel Casserly is right – this is very easy if you do it in MVC (even easier if you use Razor-Syntax), as it would translate do something like:

<table>
    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {
        <tr>
            <td>@item.Name</td>
            ... whatever you need here ...
        </tr>
    }
</table>
