How do i dynamically create an Entry on a vertical stack layout?

Question

I have a page with a vertical stack layout. I ask the user a question, and based on their response, I can either show an entry or take them to another page. I.E. This Input entry would only appear if the user clicked "Add" Button. I can't seem to find anything that'll help. Aby help would be much appreciated.

Hello @Daniel Salami ,

You can add the Entry on the page and set IsVisible false, then set IsVisible true according to user's response. You can refer to the following code :
XAML

<VerticalStackLayout  
          >  
            <Label  
                Text="Question 1"  
                FontSize="18"/>  
            <Entry x:Name="Question1Entry" Placeholder="Please enter the answer"></Entry>  
  
            <StackLayout x:Name="SecondQuestionLayout" IsVisible="false">  
                <Label  
                Text="Question 2"  
                FontSize="18"  
                 />  
                <Entry Placeholder="Please enter the answer"></Entry>  
            </StackLayout>  
             
            <Button  
                x:Name="CounterBtn"  
                Text="Add"  
                Clicked="OnCounterClicked"  
                HorizontalOptions="Center" />  
        </VerticalStackLayout>  

"Add" button click event

private void OnCounterClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)  
      {  
      if (  Question1Entry.Text == "111")// base on the response, show the next entry  
            {  
            SecondQuestionLayout.IsVisible = true;  
            }  
            else  
            {  
                  //go to the next page  
            }  
    }  

It's recommended that you use Data binding and MVVM and handle logic in the ViewModel..
