Tracking names of dynamically generated controls

Question

I am creating separate checkedlistbox for different sections of a database at runtime, which i got to work the way i want to, my question is how do i keep track of the names of the checkedlistboxes so that i can refer to them later in code. Say the program creates 3 boxes. how do i name them consecutively and call them further into the program in another sub?

Answer 1

That's a nice alternative... But I don't think I can apply that on our application right now since the requirements didnt allow a lot of development time. I can propose that on our next version maybe... Thanks for your suggestion...

Answer 2

Why like this.. First give users a "Search" facility for item. If found ask to update (Change button text to "Update") or else create a new one (Change button text to "Add New"). Something like this :)

Answer 3

Hi, 

Thanks for the comments... The requirement was quite a rush so I just did a work around. I used two buttons alternating their visibility on every post back depending on the result of the checking for the records existence... If the record doesn't exist, the Add button is visible. Otherwise, the update button is visible. The update is attached with attribute that calls on a client side script that asks the user for confirmation.
