asp.net - Dynamic C# Not rendering on page_load -

i have method intended dynamically generate series of divs based on entry of value dropdown list. however, wish reuse same code generate tables on first page_load when number exists.

this method called. called generatetables , called page_load event:

if (!ispostback)     {         academicprogramme programme;         if (request.querystring["id"] != null)         {             programme = academic.getacademicprogramme(request.querystring["id"]);             programmename.text = programme.name;             populateview(programme);             generatetables(programme.levels);         } } 

and here method (apologies size of method):

private void generatetables(int count) {     (int = 1; < count + 1; i++)     {         literalcontrol title = new literalcontrol();         literalcontrol close = new literalcontrol();         literalcontrol close2 = new literalcontrol();         string script = "<div class=\"moduleprogtable\"><h3>level " + + "</modules></h3></br>";          title.text = script;         academictable.controls.add(title);          panel panel = new panel();         panel.id = "level" + + "modules";          populatepanel(panel, getmodulessession(i));          button = new button();         a.id = "addmodule" + i;         a.text = "add module";         a.click += (openpopup);          academictable.controls.add(panel);         academictable.controls.add(a);          close.text = "</div> <!-- close here -->";         close2.text = "</div>";          academictable.controls.add(close);      } } 

the divs being populated because if change dropdown option appear on postback without fail. it's when try them render on first page_load having problems.

any feedback , advice appreciated!
