This is Praveen. Thanks for your help and support provided for my previous problem.

I am doing a small project of my own with help of the project which was given here( sample name : workingwithwp7).

I'm sooo thankful for the person for giving that sample project with that i was able to learn and do my project so far very good.

My current problem is to add controls dynamically on tapping/clicking a button. I did some research on this problem and wasn't much help of it.

Please provide me with a solution/idea/if possible a sample for adding controls dynamically in the screen would a very helpful to me.

Thanks in Advance.

You can use Portrait or Landscape as the value.

Hi ,

I also tried using the application as a example and implemented it in my application. It is also not much helpful as its not supporting in my windows phone 7 application. I have attached the screen shot of the error when i tried to implement it in my app. Looking for a workaround for creating the controls dynamically.

I assume silverlight/WPF code will work on Windows Phone.

Hi Parveen siwach,

Thnx for your immediate reply.

We need to place controls dynamically in Windows Phone Application.

We already went through the steps for adding controls in Web form application and try to use the same logic in WP7 application which was not helpful.

Is there any other way to achieve this ?

To add a control dynamically, you first place a "Placeholder" control on the form and you can add controls to that placeholder.
