Creating run time textbox in Windows Phone 7

I wanted to display no of course json objects in each textbox but as they are unpredictable number of objects therefore i created textbox on the fly using this code

List<Course> Cdata = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Course>>(App.data);
            TextBox[] Tblock = new TextBox[Cdata.Count];
            double top = 0; int i = 0;

            foreach (Course de in Cdata)
            {
                result += de.course_name + "\r\n";
                result += "Total Absents = " + de.absents;
                result += " + " + de.presents;
                result += " = " + de.sessions + "\r\n\r\n\r\n";


                Tblock[i] = new TextBox();
                Tblock[i].Text = result;
                Tblock[i].AcceptsReturn = true;
                Tblock[i].TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
                Tblock[i].Width = 475;
                Tblock[i].Height = 270;
                Tblock[i].IsReadOnly = true;
                Tblock[i].Margin =new Thickness (0,top,0,0);
                Tblock[i].Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
                Tblock[i].VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Top;
                top += 270; i++;

                result = "";

            }

Now when i debug my app data it is working as its supposed to the only problem is textbox

never display on View

You have to add the Textboxes to any existing Panel (generally to Grid or StackPanel) in the XAML as shown below

StackPanel sp = new StackPanel(); //Create stack panel before foreach loop
foreach (Course de in Cdata)
{
   //your code which you shown above
   sp.Children.Add(Tblock[i]); //Add all the Textboxes to the stackpanel
}

ContentPanel.Children.Add(sp); //And add the above stackpanel to the existing Grid named ContentPanel

By the way, I suggest you to use a ListBox with ItemTemplate to bind the data instead of creating the TextBoxes as shown above.

Also, I don't understand why you have choosen TextBox instead of TextBlock to display data
