Frustration With Dynamic Controls

[Bill Crawley]

The Literal Control adds another layer to your controls.

For instance if you swap these 2 lines:

tableReport.Rows(row).Cells(1).Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(" "))
tableReport.Rows(row).Cells(1).Controls.Add(assignedResource.cmdEdit)

the cmdEdit will become visible. The Literal control is masking the

assignedResource.cmdEdit.Attributes("Mode")

So with your new code:

assignedResource.XXXXXX.cmdEdit.Attributes("Mode") Where XXXXXX becomes the reference to LiteralControl.

If your still confused, right mouse click on your page (when run in browser) and View Source. Look for cmdEdit and it will show you how the ASP page has constructed cmdEdit for rendering, this will show you what to test for
