Building an UI from code behind

Hi,

I don't fully understand what you are trying to achieve but if you are talking about adding these controls repeatedly then you should use a DataTemplate for the ItemTemplate of an ItemsControl or derivative of such with no code-behind and no need to develop  user/custom controls.

Hi,

No I mentioned WinForms as the parent container......no WPF is harder to build in code behind.

If anyone has any ideas please shout.

Thanks,

hi,
since you mentioned winforms, I would say yes you can do that.
In code you can instantiate each control as an object
DataGridView grdTest=new DataGridView();
and populate it with columns like wise (in fact if you observe winform there is a form.designer.cs file which contains control definitions and there relative position within the form in c#).
I haven't tried WPF till now but i'm sure its possible with it too :)
