Adding Rows and Cells Dynamically to a Table Control

It’s common to add rows and cells to a Table Web server control at run time. Rows Are objects of type TableRow. The Row property of the Table control supports a collection of TableRow objects. To add a row to the table, you add a TableRow object to this collection. Similarly, the TableRow object has a Cells property that supports a collection of objects of type TableCell. Thus, you can add cells to a row by manipulating this collection.

   <script language="C#" runat="server">
       void Page_Load(object src, EventArgs e)
       {
           if (!IsPostBack)
           {
               // generate select options
               for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
               {
                   rowsSelect.Items.Add(i.ToString());
                   cellsSelect.Items.Add(i.ToString());
               }
               rowsSelect.SelectedIndex = 1;
               cellsSelect.SelectedIndex = 2;
           }

           // generate rows and cells
           int numrows = int.Parse(rowsSelect.SelectedItem.Value);
           int numcells = int.Parse(cellsSelect.SelectedItem.Value);

           for (int j = 0; j < numrows; j++)
           {
               TableRow r = new TableRow();
               for (int i = 0; i < numcells; i++)
               {
                   TableCell c = new TableCell();
                   c.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("row " + j.ToString() + ", cell " + i.ToString()));
                   r.Cells.Add(c);
               }
               myTable.Rows.Add(r);
