Introduction

The Table web server control allows us to build an HTML TABLE and helps us organize data in tabular form. Tables can be created at design time or run time. To create a table we also need the TableRow and TableCell web controls. If you create a table at design time you often fill its content with static data but if you create it at runtime that you can fill it with dynamic content like binding it to a datasource. The class hierarchy for table control is as follows

Object
Control
WebControl
Table

Properties of Table Control

CellPadding:- Gets/Sets the distance between the border and the content of the table cell.
CellSpacing:- Gets/Sets the distance between table cells.
GridLines:- Gets/Sets the GridLine property of the Table class.
Rows:- Gets/Sets the collection of rows within the table.

Here we are discussing an example in which we are manipulating table Programmatically with table control.

Getting Started

Simply create a new ASP.NET web application.
Drag the two DropDownList, Button, Table control on your page. The page will look like below.

Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim numrows As Integer
Dim numcells As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim r As TableRow
Dim c As TableCell
numrows = CInt(DropDown1.SelectedItem.Value)
numcells = CInt(DropDown2.SelectedItem.Value)
For j = 0 To numrows-1
r = new TableRow()
For i = 0 To numcells-1
c = new TableCell()
c.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("row " & j & ", cell " & i))
r.Cells.Add(c)
Next i
Table1.Rows.Add(r)
Next j
End Sub
