Question

In the an application I’m working on it should be possible to dynamically add numbers to cells in a table. The user types for example nr 1, and then the number should increment by 1 in each cell (eg. cell1 = 1, cell2 = 2, cell3 = 3 and so on).

I guess I can use either a for-loop or a for-each loop, but what I need to know is how to step through the cells and adding new content to each of them?

By the way. I am using the Table Control (not “pure HTML”), and the table contains of 7 rows and two cols. I want it to loop through the cells as following:

---

: 1 : 2 :

: 3 : 4 :

: 5 : 6 :

and so on…

Answer 1

A foreach like like this should do the trick:

int yourStartInt = 6;

foreach(Control control in YourTableID.Controls)
{
    if (control is TableRow)
    {
        foreach (Control innerControl in control.Controls)
        {
            if (innerControl != null && innerControl is TableCell)
            {
                TableCell cell = innerControl as TableCell;
                cell.Text = yourStartInt.ToString();
                yourStartInt++;
            }
        }
    }
}

You must loop through your table’s controls to find the rows, and then in the rows you can find the cells in similar fashion.
