So today I started learning ASP.NET. Unfortunately I haven’t found any good tutorials online, and I can’t afford to buy books at the moment, so I’ve had to create a ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2010 and just play around with the default project setup.

So far here’s what I have in my Default.aspx:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1._Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Project Management</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div style="padding-bottom:10px;"> Project Management System</div>
    <div> <table style="width:100%;">
            <tr>
                <td>Name</td>
                <td>Task</td>
                <td>Hours</td>
            </tr>
    </table></div>
</body>
</html>

I created a simple table with the header row already in there. Through a C# script, I want to be able to dynamically add rows to this HTML table. Is this the right way of thinking in ASP.NET? If so, how can I do this? I’m sure I’ll need an "Add" button, which adds a new row to the table, with editable fields, and a "submit" button which adds some stuff to a database.

Basically just a rundown of how this is done would be ever so helpful.

    Have you attempted the Asp:Table?

    <asp:Table ID="myTable" runat="server" Width="100%"> 
    <asp:TableRow>
        <asp:TableCell>Name</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell>Task</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell>Hours</asp:TableCell>
    </asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>

    You can then add rows as you need to in the script by creating them and adding them to myTable.Rows

    TableRow row = new TableRow();
TableCell cell1 = new TableCell();
cell1.Text = "blah blah blah";
row.Cells.Add(cell1);
myTable.Rows.Add(row);

    Given your question description though, I’d say you’d be better off using a GridView or Repeater as mentioned by @Kirk Woll.

    EDIT – Also, if you want to learn without buying books here are a few sites you absolutely need to become familiar with:
