I have a User Control which returns a table of data, which in some cases needs to be looped, displaying one on top of another.

I am able to dynamically add a single instance of this by placing a fixed placeholder in the page.

I am now trying to work out how to add more than one, given that I don't know how many might be needed I don't want to hard code the Placeholders.

I've tried the following, but I am just getting one instance, presumably the first is being overwritten by the second

My HTML

<div id="showHere" runt="server"/>

VB

Dim thisPh As New PlaceHolder
thisPh.Controls.Add(showTable)
showHere.Controls.Add(thisPh)

Dim anotherPh As New PlaceHolder
anotherPh .Controls.Add(showTable)
showHere.Controls.Add(anotherPh)

How do I make it add repeated tables within the showHere div?
