    <p>I have a function that creates multiple controls. Mainly input fields and an imagebutton with dynamic data for an Amazon payment button. </p> <p>How can I add these controls to a placeholder so they are rendered on the page?</p> <p>I tried creating a placeholder inside the function, adding controls and returning the placeholder. </p> <pre><code>plhCart = returnedPlaceHolder() </code></pre> <p>The controls did not render however when do a plhCart.Controls.Count the value was correct. </p> <p>This is the function creating the controls and adding them to a placeholder object:</p> <pre><code> Protected Function GetPayNowWidgetForm(ByVal formHiddenInputs As SortedDictionary(Of [String], [String])) As PlaceHolder Dim payButton As New ImageButton Dim plhForm As New PlaceHolder Dim counter As Integer = 1 payButton.ID = "imgPayButton" payButton.PostBackUrl = "https://authorize.payments-sandbox.amazon.com/pba/paypipeline" payButton.ImageUrl = "https://authorize.payments-sandbox.amazon.com/pba/images/GMPayNowWithAmazon.png" plhForm.Controls.Add(payButton) ' Add the Key/Value pairs from formHiddenInputs For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of [String], [String]) In formHiddenInputs Dim hiddenField As HtmlControl = New HtmlControls.HtmlInputHidden ' Dim hiddenField As New HiddenField hiddenField.Attributes.Add("name", kvp.Key) hiddenField.Attributes.Add("value", kvp.Value) plhForm.Controls.Add(hiddenField) counter += 1 Next Return plhForm End Function </code></pre> <p>I am now using Steve Temple's suggestion and adding this returned placeholder to the placeholder on my page using </p> <pre><code>plhCart.Controls.Add(GetPayNowWidgetForm(...)) </code></pre> <p>This is working fine, and probably better than what I came up with last night. My original solution was to create the controls and returning them as a system.array. Then looping through the array to add each control to the placeholder. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
