Error while loading controls dynamically

I don't know what the problem is with that code but it's not because you're including a space in the name of the control which is something I've occasionally done myself.

You can call a control what you like and, although it's not recommended, even give it the same name as an existing control.

To show that this is so, I created a new WF project, placed a button (button1) in the middle of it and put this code in the click handler:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Button button = new Button();

button.Name = "h Enter";

button.Text = "Enter";

this.Controls.Add(button);

string text = "";

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)

{

text += c.Name + "\r\n";

}

MessageBox.Show(text);

}

When I clicked the button, the output of the MessageBox was:

button1
h Enter

and when I clicked it again, the output was:

button1
h Enter
h Enter

as there were now two 'h Enter' buttons superimposed over each other.

Can you tell us what the actual error is here?

Hi Jegan Priya,
What error you have face? Also I think it may due to the Name you have declared for the button.
Space is not allowed in Name SO please use "hEnter" instead of "h Enter"
