Panels in .NET is used to place controls in it.

We also use panels to create dynamic controls and place it inside a panel.

<asp:Panel ID= "Panel1"  runat = "server">
</asp:Panel>

Everytime we use panel to place controls inside it and to make our web page look more attractive .

Exampel to generating controls dynamically:
 

<form id="form1" runat="server">
   <div>
      <asp:Panel ID="pnldynamic" runat="server" BorderColor="#990000" 
         BorderStyle="Solid" Borderstyle="width:1px" Height="150px"  ScrollBars="Auto" style="width:60%" BackColor="#CCCCFF"  Font-Names="Courier" HorizontalAlign="Center">
     
         This panel shows dynamic control generation:
         <br />
         <br />
      </asp:Panel>
   </div>

   <table style="width: 51%;">
      <tr>
         <td class="style2">No of Labels:</td>
         <td class="style1">
            <asp:DropDownList ID="ddllabels" runat="server">
               <asp:ListItem>0</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem>4</asp:ListItem>
            </asp:DropDownList>
         </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
         <td class="style2"> </td>
         <td class="style1"> </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
         <td class="style2">No of Text Boxes :</td>
         <td class="style1">
            <asp:DropDownList ID="ddltextbox" runat="server">
               <asp:ListItem>0</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
               <asp:ListItem Value="4"></asp:ListItem>
            </asp:DropDownList>
         </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
         <td class="style2"> </td>
         <td class="style1"> </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
         <td class="style2">
            <asp:CheckBox ID="chkvisible" runat="server" 
               Text="Make the Panel Visible" />
         </td>

         <td class="style1">
            <asp:Button ID="btnrefresh" runat="server" Text="Refresh Panel" 
               style="width:129px" />
         </td>
      </tr>
   </table>
</form>

The code behind should be as follows:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      //make the panel visible
      pnldynamic.Visible = chkvisible.Checked;

      //generating the lable controls:
      int n = Int32.Parse(ddllabels.SelectedItem.Value);
      for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
      {
         Label lbl = new Label();
         lbl.Text = "Label" + (i).ToString();
         pnldynamic.Controls.Add(lbl);
         pnldynamic.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br />"));
      }
      
      //generating the text box controls:

      int m = Int32.Parse(ddltextbox.SelectedItem.Value);
      for (int i = 1; i <= m; i++)
      {
         TextBox txt = new TextBox();
         txt.Text = "Text Box" + (i).ToString();
         pnldynamic.Controls.Add(txt);
         pnldynamic.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br />"));
      }
   }
}
