for(int i=0;i<4;++i)
{
  TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
  tb.Text = i.ToString();
  tb.SetProperty(Grid.Row, (double)i);
  myGrid.Controls.Add(tb);
}

this assumes that you have a grid named myGrid on your page.

It takes all the running you can do to stay in one place.If you want to get somewhere else,you must try to run at least twice as fast as that.

Answer 4

Since you don't know in advance how many TextBlocks to add, it would be simpler to use it with a StackPanel in your page:

TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
tb.Text = "some text";
mystackpanel.Children.Add(tb);
TextBlock tb2 = new TextBlock();
tb2.Text = "more text";
mystackpanel.Children.Add(tb2);

Based on your description, it would be best if you learn to how use databinding, but that is a much bigger topic.

Answer 6

Usman, here are few considerations for you before answer to this particular post of yours,

1- One question at a time in each thread please? If I would be you, I'll either mark answer by Richard Woo as resolved or discuss issues I have with that but won't ask for COMPLETE SOLUTION to just replicate in same thread.

2- Don't ask for code that you don't understand a bit and just want to copy/paste that.

3- Share part of your code that you are not able to sort out. This will help you more.

Having said above, here's what you should do next

1- Learn how to consume a WCF service in a WP project. Simply right click on References node in solution explorer and select "Add Service Reference". Provide WSDL and add the service. Rest Visual Studio will create relative classes for you to consume. If you haven't done that, this tutorial will help,

2- Given the response retrieved use the answer from Richard and use search engine and this forum for particular answers.

3- Once you understand above, ask yourself if you really need to generate dynamic text blocks? I don't think so. I think a listbox is what you need and that will also help you understand DataBinding in .NET. Here's a Url I suggest considering in reference to WCF and almost cover entire scope of your mentioned FYP to be consulted,
