Create dynamic UI in .net web application

Question

I am creating a .Net web application. It is a form and the contents like the text, drop downs, check boxes change often so i don't want to create the markup in ascx file. I want to create them dynamically like from an xml or something like that.

Can any one please advise of what is the best method to achieve my scenario ? Can i use XAML in web application ? Thanks.

if you add a runat="server" tag to your form, then you can manipulate its controls programmatically at the server-side.

 <form id="form1" runat="server"></form>

Then in your server-side code just do something like this

var lbl = new Label();
lbl.Text = "this is my label";
form1.Controls.Add(lbl);
