 Table Web server control in ASP.NET 2.0 (C#)

The Table Web server control allows you to create server-programmable tables on ASP.NET pages. This tutorial will show you how to use Table Web server control in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. The Table Web server control allows you to create server-programmable tables on ASP.NET pages. The TableRow and TableCell Web server controls provide a way to display the actual content for the Table control. The Table control builds up a table by adding TableRows to the Rows collection of the table, and TableCells to the Cells collection of the row. You can add content to a table cell by adding controls to the Controls collection of the cell.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Generate rows and cells

int numrows = int.Parse(DropDown1.SelectedItem.Value);
int numcells = int.Parse(DropDown2.SelectedItem.Value);

for (int j=0; j<numrows; j++)
{
TableRow r = new TableRow();

for (int i=0; i<numcells; i++)
{
TableCell c = new TableCell();
c.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("row " + j.ToString() + ", cell " + i.ToString()));
r.Cells.Add(c);
}

Table1.Rows.Add(r);
}
}

<asp:Table id="Table1" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" CellPadding=5 CellSpacing=0 BorderColor="black" BorderWidth="1" Gridlines="Both" runat="server"/>

Table rows:
<asp:DropDownList id=DropDown1 runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="1">1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">3</asp:ListItem>
