In order to create Dynamic Controls like Text boxes, Buttons, Labels etc in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net. First start a new project and create a form and add 3 text boxes and change the text of the Buttons as Create Button, Create Textbox and Create Labels as shown in the image.
Now, add the following code in the code window of the form.
Public Class Form1
Dim x As Integer = 1
Dim y As Integer = 1
Dim z As Integer = 1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim button As New System.Windows.Forms.Button()
Me.Controls.Add(button)
button.Top = x * 30
button.Left = 100
button.Text = "Button " & Me.x.ToString
x = x + 1
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim Txtbox As New System.Windows.Forms.TextBox()
Me.Controls.Add(Txtbox)
Txtbox.Top = y * 30
Txtbox.Left = 200
Txtbox.Text = "TextBox " & Me.y.ToString
y = y + 1
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim Label As New System.Windows.Forms.Label()
Me.Controls.Add(Label)
Label.Top = z * 30
Label.Left = 320
Label.Text = "Label " & Me.z.ToString
z = z + 1
End Sub
End Class
Finally run the project by pressing F5 and click on the buttons to start creating new buttons, Text Boxes and Labels on the form.
