title: ASP.NET C# Generate Table Dynamically doesn't work
body: <p>I've been trying to generate a table with n number of rows. Being used to PHP makes this all the worst. I tried the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System.Data;
  
  // Create a DataTable instance
  DataTable dTbl = new DataTable("myDynamicTable");
  
  // Create a DataColumn instances
  
  DataColumn dValue = new DataColumn();
  DataColumn dMember = new DataColumn();
  
  dValue.ColumnName = "Id";
  dValue.DataType = Type.GetType("System.Int32");
  
  dMember.ColumnName = "Name";
  dMember.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String");
  
  // Add these DataColumns into the DataTable
  
  dTbl.Columns.Add(dValue);
  
  dTbl.Columns.Add(dMember);
  DataRow myrow = dTbl.NewRow();
  
  myrow["Id"] = 1;
  myrow["Name"] = "Tux";
  
  // Add the row into the table
  
  dTbl.Rows.Add(myrow);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but nothing displayed. Any idea why?
  All I need is to display a table with 3 columns and n number of rows. This number will of rows will be dependent on number of records in database satisfying a certain conditions.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>HtmlTable table1 = new HtmlTable();
  
  // Set the table's formatting-related properties.
  table1.Border = 1;
  table1.CellPadding = 3;
  table1.CellSpacing = 3;
  table1.BorderColor = "red";
  
  // Start adding content to the table.
  HtmlTableRow row;
  HtmlTableCell cell;
  for (int i = 1; i &lt;= 5; i++)
  {
      // Create a new row and set its background color.
      row = new HtmlTableRow();
      row.BgColor = (i % 2 == 0 ? "lightyellow" : "lightcyan");
  
      for (int j = 1; j &lt;= 4; j++)
      {
          // Create a cell and set its text.
          cell = new HtmlTableCell();
          cell.InnerHtml = "Row: " + i.ToString() +
            "&lt;br&gt;Cell: " + j.ToString();
  
          // Add the cell to the current row.
          row.Cells.Add(cell);
      }
  
      // Add the row to the table.
      table1.Rows.Add(row);
  }
  
  // Add the table to the page.
  this.Controls.Add(table1);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it didn't work! </p>
