dynamically add textbox on button click [closed]

I'm working with windows form application in vb.net windows form application in that there are two buttons: 1. Add new Textbox 2. Insert multiple textbox data into database When I click on 1st button it will create new textbox and if I click on 2nd button than it should insert data of multiple textboxes in database. Database has two fields only 1. Id primary key 2. Name And textbox contains name. Please suggest me the way to implement this i have no idea about this.

Is the ID field auto-incremental? Ken - Abdias Software Nov 22 '12 at 15:25 Could you use a different control other than a textbox? Maybe a d a t a g r i d v i e w which you can add rows to and expand dynamically much easier than a group of text boxes. bendataclear Nov 22 '12 at 15:34 yes it's auto-increment. javed salat Nov 22 '12 at 15:34 Is it posiible by datagridview??? javed salat Nov 22 '12 at 15:35

In your click-event assuming the ID-field is auto-incrementing in the database: d i mm y T x ta sN e wT e x t B o x m y T x t . N a m e=M e . C o n t r o l s . C o u n t .
