title: How to programmatically add controls to a form in VB.NET
body: <p>I am working on an inventory in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio_Express#Visual_Basic_Express">Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition</a>. I don't know the number of fields that will be necessary for the inventory. My hope was that I could add textboxes/checkboxes/buttons using for loops in the program. Is there a way to add controls to a form without using the toolbox?</p>
  
  <p>Can I add controls by instantiating them in the program?</p>
