Positioning a control Code behind

I know how to do it in win forms, but how do i position a dynamically added control on top of another dynamically added control code behind?

I tried doing: panelNew.ApplyStyle(panelOld.ControlStyle);

where panelNew and panelOld are Panels and I am trying to position panelNew on top of panelOld but it did not do anything. (Both panels are exactly same size)

Thanks.

If you want to do it purely in code-behind, try something like this:

panelNew.Style[HtmlTextWriterStyle.Position] = 'absolute';
panelNew.Style[HtmlTextWriterStyle.ZIndex] = '999';

The zindex of the panel you want on the top will have to be greater than the other panel.

To do this you would likely want to leverage absolute positioning. Think about it like this, it's all about the styling. Consider the following style:

#pnl1 {
    position: absolute;
    left: 10px;
    top: 10px;
    z-index: 1000;
}

#pnl2 {
    position: absolute;
    left: 10px;
    top: 10px;
    z-index: 1001;
}

#pnl2 is now directly above #pnl1.
