    text
    copied!<p>I have a table that I'm creating in code behind with the final column containing a HTML checkbox with runat="server".</p> <p>The code I'm using to do this is:</p> <pre><code> Do While reader.HasRows Do While reader.Read Dim tNewRow As New HtmlTableRow Dim cellSKU, cellDESCR, cellDept1, cellDeptGrp1, cellDeptRng1, cellStand, cellBoard, cellSelect As New HtmlTableCell cellSKU.InnerHtml = "&lt;a href='edit.aspx?edit=" &amp; reader("SKUN") &amp; "'&gt;" &amp; reader("SKUN") &amp; "&lt;/a&gt;" cellDESCR.InnerText = reader("DESCR") cellDept1.InnerText = reader("DPT1") cellDeptGrp1.InnerText = reader("GRP1") cellDeptRng1.InnerText = reader("RNG1") cellBoard.InnerText = reader("BOARD") cellStand.InnerText = reader("STAND") cellSelect.InnerHtml = "&lt;input type='checkbox' id='selectedSKU' value='" &amp; reader("SKUN") &amp; "' runat='server' /&gt;" tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellSKU) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellDESCR) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellDept1) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellDeptGrp1) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellDeptRng1) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellStand) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellBoard) tNewRow.Cells.Add(cellSelect) tNewRow.Style.Add("border", "solid 1px #cccccc") skusTable.Rows.Add(tNewRow) Loop reader.NextResult() Loop </code></pre> <p>But I want to use the checkbox in another sub such as:</p> <pre><code>Protected Sub editSkus_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles editSkus.Click End Sub </code></pre> <p>Though I can't use selectedSKU.whatever as the checkbox doesn't exist on the page until the other section of code is run.</p> <p>Is there a way I can get around this or another way of doing things?</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help.</p>
