Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to programmatically add View controls to a MultiView control. After each View control is created, the AddAt method is used to add the View control to the ViewCollection collection of the MultiView control at the specified index. The Item[] indexer is used to access the ID properties of the View controls stored in the ViewCollection collection and display them to the user.
