I also have the book ASP.NET Unleashed, and I went to the author's site, www.superexpert.com, downloaded the code, and tested it. It worked fine. The only thing I could think of is that he is adding a "

" before he add the label.

>I tried that but does not work. If I just add two or more textboxes programmatically in the code (in Page_load or click method), it works. But if there is a code to add just one textbox, then, on each loop, only one textbox is added. Or it could be that the second textbox is added but is "placed" right at the same space where the first one is. Therefore, I can only see one textbox. Or maybe the next one (after the first) never gets added to the placeholder.

>Frustrating, especially since I follow code in an example in ASP.NET Unleashed (the only different is that the author's example is in VB and I use C#). Otherwise, the same. Yet, he even has a picture of how nice each textbox is placed after the other.
