How to add buttons dynamically to my form?

Question

I want to create 10 buttons on my form when I click on button1. No error with this code below but it doesnt work either.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<Button> buttons = new List<Button>();
    for (int i = 0; i < buttons.Capacity; i++)
    {
        this.Controls.Add(buttons[i]);   
    }
}

Answer 1

You aren't creating any buttons, you just have an empty list.

You can forget the list and just create the buttons in the loop.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{     
     int top = 50;
     int left = 100;

     for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)     
     {         
          Button button = new Button();   
          button.Left = left;
          button.Top = top;
          this.Controls.Add(button);      
          top += button.Height + 2;
     }
}

It doesn't work because the list is empty. Try this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<Button> buttons = new List<Button>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        Button newButton = new Button();
        buttons.Add(newButton);
        this.Controls.Add(newButton);   
    }
}
