PlaceHolder Web Server Control Declarative Syntax 

Reserves a location in the page control hierarchy for controls that are added programmatically.

<asp:PlaceHolder
    EnableTheming="True|False"
    EnableViewState="True|False"
    ID="string"
    OnDataBinding="DataBinding event handler"
    OnDisposed="Disposed event handler"
    OnInit="Init event handler"
    OnLoad="Load event handler"
    OnPreRender="PreRender event handler"
    OnUnload="Unload event handler"
    runat="server"
    SkinID="string"
    Visible="True|False"
/>

Remarks

Use the PlaceHolder control as a container to store dynamically added server controls to the Web page. The PlaceHolder control does not produce any visible output and is only used as a container for other controls on the Web page. You can use the Control.Controls collection to add, insert, or remove a control from the PlaceHolder control.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add Web server controls to the PlaceHolder control.

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="True" %>

         Dim myButton As HtmlButton = New HtmlButton()

         myButton.InnerText = "Button 1"
         PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myButton)

         myButton = New HtmlButton()
         myButton.InnerText = "Button 2"
         PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myButton)

         myButton = New HtmlButton()
