I am trying to create a section head control dynamically (in code) however I think I am missing something simple - the code i used

---------------------------------------

Dim createTable1 As New Table

Dim mySectionHead As DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.SectionHeadControl = New DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.SectionHeadControl

mySectionHead.Text = "testing the sectionhead"

mySectionHead.Section = createTable1.ClientID

Me.plCategoryListing.Controls.Add(mySectionHead)

Me.plCategoryListing.Controls.Add(createTable1)

-----------------------------------------

gives me this - any ideas on where i need to do this or is it possible since you have to ge a control name to the section head control

--------------

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.SectionHeadControl.set_Text(String Value) at YourCompany.Modules.CodeAgora_Project.ViewCodeAgora_Project.CreateCategoryList() at YourCompany.Modules.CodeAgora_Project.ViewCodeAgora_Project.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Because the SectionHeadControl is a UserControl rather than a custom server control, I believe that you would have to instantiate it using LoadControl rather than simply calling its constructor.

I got this working using Load Control, however, I am not getting the images for plus/minus.  They are not even being generated.  I tried setting manually in code, but still nothing.  Anyone?

I've never tried this but took a quick look at the SectionHead code.  My guess is that if you are dynamically adding the section to which the SectionHead will apply, it needs to be created and added to the parent's control tree BEFORE the SectionHead control is added to the parent's control tree. Also, try using the section's ID property not ClientID when setting the Section property of the SectionHead control.

Once I applied the table to be used in section property, it all worked fine.
