Add array of controls to an aspx page

Question

I\'m trying to add an array of controls to an aspx page (C# code behind). These are the similar controls (search criteria for separate fields but will have the same values)

Answer 1

You can give them valid IDs and put them all in an array yourself:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   ListItem[] items = new ListItem[3];
   ...

   DropDownList[] lists = new DropDownList[] { FruitDropDown0
                                              ,FruitDropDown1
                                              ,...};

   foreach(DropDownList list in lists) {
      list.Items.AddRange(items);
      list.DataBind();
   }
}
