Adding User Controls from code behind

I have a user control(UserControl1) on my page and one Add more button.Clicking on Add More Button add the same user control again.When i click on user control first time,it adds second User Control,but on second time it doesnot add other.I think the control gets lost. I am adding a control like this on link button click:-

protected void lnkadd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { HtmlTableCell tCell = new HtmlTableCell(); UserControl uc = (UserControl)Page.LoadControl("~/Controls/DirectionalPricingCtrl.ascx");     tCell.Controls.Add(uc);     tablerow.Cells.Add(tCell); }

I think i am doing something wrong and i should add user controls in respect of page life cycle,but how?Can somebody please guide me or provide some useful links? What approach i should follow when i have to add a user control each time when i click on a Add button and then later retrieve all the values and save it to DB?

Hi,

You can create a list of UserControl as I described below,
        List lstUC = new List();

then on Button click event, you write logic to add the same new user control at different index of list by using the Insert(index,usercontrol) method of the List class.

I changed your code specify in question and I hope it will work,

//Global List variable
private List lstUC = new List();
int i = 0;

protected void lnkadd_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
        i++;

        lstUc.Insert(i,(UserControl)Page.LoadControl("~/Controls/DirectionalPricingCtrl.aspx"));
}
