Dynamically Generated DropDownList web controls hi

问题:

I am facing troubles in creation of dynamic web controls. I have a SQL Databounded DropDownlist with DataTextField ="All_Columns" and DataValueField="DATA_TYPE".

Upon DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged i must check for the datatype as decimal or Varchar for the Selected value. If it is decimal i must call Createdynamicwebcontrols_decimal() and create DropDownList2. If it is varchar i must call Createdynamicwebcontrols_varchar().

Current Issue: Upon DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged i must create two dynamic textboxes and input values must be retained and search and display the data in a JQGrid with the help of Button Click event. But the DDL control hides completely

How to achieve above all features. Help needed please. New to dynamic web controls.

Aspx Code:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList5" runat="server" DataSourceID="column_list_for_filter" DataTextField="All_Columns" DataValueField="DATA_TYPE" OnSelectedIndexChanged ="DropDownList5_SelectedIndexChanged"  AutoPostBack="true" >
            </asp:DropDownList>
            <asp:SqlDataSource ID="column_list_for_filter" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT COLUMN_NAME AS 'All_Columns', DATA_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE (TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE')"></asp:SqlDataSource>

C# code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {     
        Panel6.Visible = false;
        JQGrid9.Visible = false;

        if (Session["DataforSearch"] != null)
        {
            Panel6.Visible = true;
            JQGrid9.Visible = true;
            JQGrid9.DataSource = Session["DataforSearch"] as string;

        }

    }

         //How to Proceed

   protected void DropDownList5_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

You can find the source code and example on following link : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20714/Dynamic-ASP-NET-control-creation-using-C

I also found this code online, I hope it would help you: You can modify this according to your needs in this code Button is added on the click of an another button.

Adding a new control to a form is really easy.

All you have to do is create a new instance of the control like any other class. Eg:

Button NewButton = new button();

Then you fill out the properties of the control.

NewButton.Text = "My New Button";

After this setup an event handler.

NewButton.Click += new EventHandler(NewButton_Click);

Then in the button handler to tell which dynamic button was pressed you use the sender parameter.

void NewButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button CurrentButton = (Button)sender;

CurrentButton.Text = "I was clicked";
}

Then finally the last step in setting the button up is to add the control to the form.

this.Controls.Add(NewButton);
