How to dynamically add gridviews side by side using asp.net c#

I am creating a page which shows some details in several gridviews. I am saying several because the number of gridviews is not constant. I am having a panel on the aspx page and adding gridviews to it dynamically.

aspx code:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlResult" runat="server"></asp:Panel>

aspx.cs code

int numOfGroups = some number here;
            for (int i = 1; i < numOfGroups + 1; i++)
            {
                GridView grd = new GridView();
                grd.ID = "GridView" + i.ToString();
                grd.BackColor = getColor(i);
                grd.DataSource = dt; // some data source
                grd.DataBind();
                pnlResult.Controls.Add(grd);
            }

But my problem is that the gridviews are adding one below the another . I want them to be side by side. How can I achieve that?

Note: Panel is not mandatory. Anything else can be used in its place

You have to float your elements inside the panel to left. To achieve that in your code behind, before adding grid to the panel do:

grd.Attributes.Add("class", "float-left");

Where float-left class in your css is defined as:

.float-left {
    float: left;
}

So your code would look like:

for (int i = 1; i < numOfGroups + 1; i++)
{
    GridView grd = new GridView();
    grd.ID = "GridView" + i.ToString();
    grd.BackColor = getColor(i);
    grd.Attributes.Add("class", "float-left"); //here
    grd.DataSource = dt; // some data source
    grd.DataBind();
    pnlResult.Controls.Add(grd);
}

You can do something like this

Table tbl = new Table();
TableRow tr = new TableRow();
TableCell tc = new TableCell();

btn = new  Button();
        btn.Text = "Add ";
        btn.Height = Unit.Pixel(30);
        btn.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);

tc.Controls.Add(btn);

tr.Controls.Add(tc);
tbl.Controls.Add(tr);
panel.Controls.Add(tbl);

Maybe u need just to add some css? like that:

grd.DataSource = dt; // some data source grd.Style["float"] = "left"; // css grd.DataBind();

If you use a table control, then you can create a row, and add each grid as cells, which would enforce the side-by-side requirement:

TableCell cell = new TableCell();
cell.Controls.Add(grd);

table.Rows(0).Cells.Add(cell);

Something like that; not sure if the Table API example above is 100% correct, but hopefully you get the idea.
