Question

I have some code that create a few components on the click of a button. Something like this.

CheckBox chk = new CheckBox();
chk.Top = 50;
chk.Left = 50;
chk.Text = "Check Box Test";
chk.Name = "chkTest"
this.Controls.Add(chk);

So how do I use this component. For example I tried this but got and error saying the component didn’t exist. I just want to get their values.

if(chkTest.Checked)
{
//Do this
}

Please help.

Thanks in adv.

Either create a member variable in your class called chkTest that you can use later, or retrieve it on the fly from the Controls collection when needed, like so:

CheckBox chkTest = (CheckBox)Controls["chkTest"];
if(chkTest.Checked) {
    // ...
}
