How can I make run-time textbox?

I have WPF database application. My database has 10 tables, but one of them has a different number of columns. I edit data with TextBox, so if I select a table with 10 columns I need to have 10 TextBoxes.

I think I know how to add a TextBox, but if I do it the textbox "destroys" my application. I need to repair it, change background color, color of text and margrin. This is my code:

public void AddTb()
    {
        TextBox tb2 = new TextBox();
        tb2.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
        tb2.Width = 60;
        tb2.Height = 23;
        tb2.Margin = new Thickness(304, 50, 0, 0);
        this.Content = tb2;           
    }

Solution

  • You set the Content of this to the TextBox that you are creating. You probably want to add it to some existing Panel instead of doing this: 

    theNameOfThePanel.Children.Add(tb2);
