Question

Is there a way to get the width property of controls in code behind? I need to add dynamic controls to panels and make the width 20px less then the panel. So I am trying to do this in Page_Load event but the width property is not an integer or string.

Answer 1

Double myPanelWidth = myControlPanel.Width.Value; 

That will give you a the width as a double.

Then you could do this:

myControl.Width.Value = myPanelWidth - 20;
