I am dynamically creating a table which will display an image in the background and a semi-transparent color over areas that are relevant to the image. I need to evaluate DB content against counters inside my code so as to be able to insert hyperlinks and images only on areas that are affected.

Here is a sample of my code.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int rowCount;
        int cellCount;
        int j = 0;
        int i = 0;
        for (rowCount = 0; rowCount < 3; rowCount++)
        {
            j++;
            TableRow r = new TableRow();
            for (cellCount = 0; cellCount < 3; cellCount++)
            {

                i++;
                TableCell c = new TableCell();
                c.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<a href='default.aspx' target='_blank'><img src='images/active-sm.png' alt='' style='border:0;' /></a>"));
                r.Cells.Add(c);
            }
            Table1.Rows.Add(r);
        }

    }

So what's the problem?

Here is a better example of what I am trying to do. Keep in mind that I did use the correct syntax in the code below. It is meant to be human readable. The variables with DataField are meant to be pulled from the DataSource.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int rowCount;
        int cellCount;
        int j = 0;
        int i = 0;
        for (rowCount = 0; rowCount < 3; rowCount++)
        {
            j++;
            TableRow r = new TableRow();
            for (cellCount = 0; cellCount < 3; cellCount++)
            {

                i++;
                TableCell c = new TableCell();
                //I am unsure of the following syntax in C#, but I am looking to use logic below. Read as human readable text.
                if (DataFieldColumnID = cellCount and DataFieldRowID = rowCount)
                {
                    c.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<a href='default.aspx?urlParam=DataFieldurlParam' target='_blank'><img src='images/ACTIVE.png' alt='' style='border:0;' /></a>"));
                }
                else
                {
                    c.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<img src='images/INACTIVE.png' alt='' style='border:0;' />"));
                }
                }
                r.Cells.Add(c);
            }
            Table1.Rows.Add(r);
        }

    }

I hope this makes a little more sense.

Thanks

I solved my own problem (sort of), but here is a look for anyone else. It's obviously in VB instead of C#, but it works great. There is a datagrid on the main page with an ID of MyDataGrid, which is what you see referenced twice in the script. The Datagrid is also hidden to show just the dynamically created table, but I think I might end up using the datagrid as well. This dynamically creates a table that shows a semi-transparent color over the top of a background table image showing active or affected areas of the image. I have also built an admin page which allows users to simply hover over any part of the image and click to add new reports and active cells. ENJOY!

        Dim RowID As Integer = 0
        Dim ActiveCell As Integer = 0
        Dim ColID As Integer = 0
        Dim SpecialID As Integer = 0
        Dim rows As Integer = 24
        Dim cells As Integer = 20
        Dim j As Integer = 0
        Dim i As Integer = 0
        Dim intRows As Integer = MyDataGrid.Items.Count - 1

        Dim GridItem As DataGridItem

        For j = 0 To rows - 1

            Dim r As New TableRow()

            For i = 0 To cells - 1

                Dim c As New TableCell()

                ' Is the current row active?
                ' Iterate over the records returned in the datagrid
                While intRows >= 0

                    GridItem = MyDataGrid.Items(intRows)
                    SpecialID = GridItem.Cells(0).Text().Trim()
                    RowID = GridItem.Cells(5).Text().Trim()
                    ColID = GridItem.Cells(6).Text().Trim()

                    If RowID = j And ColID = i Then
                        ActiveCell = 1
                        intRows = -1
                    End If

                    intRows = intRows - 1

                End While

                ' ACTIVE
                If ActiveCell = 1 Then

                    c.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<a onClick='showPopup(this.href);return(false);' href='details.aspx?SpecialID=" & SpecialID & "'><img src='images/active-sm.png' alt='' style='border:0;' /></a>"))
                ' NOT ACTIVE
                Else

                    c.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<img src='images/inactive.png' alt='' style='border:0;' />"))

                End If

                r.Cells.Add(c)
                intRows = TopView.Items.Count - 1
                ActiveCell = 0

            Next

            Table1.Rows.Add(r)

        Next
