Advice on dynamically generating list

Question

I'm new to coding in ASP, so your patience with me is appreciated.

I've built a user access request form which is working, however I now need to add a permissions section to it.

What this entails is 5 text boxes per row, but have it start with just one blank row, then if they fill in a row, another blank one appears below it.

Then when a button is clicked, the values are uploaded to my database.

This will also need to be populated if a user that already has access returns to the page.

Can this be done?

notes: I'm using the EntityFramework, in .NET 4, with C#

You can do this via a number of techniques. For example, you can do it with raw ASP.NET. Or client-side JavaScript. Really depends on you. Also, this has nothing to do with the Entity Framework. If I am to do this, I would choose client-side JavaScript as it is commonly used to perform something like this. In ASP, you need to use postback to add a row. — Stephen Chung

Thanks Stephen. I don't really know javascript, so I might just go with the asp method.. — Matt

Then take the answer by @Brijesh Mishra. Add a new row on postback of the button. — Stephen Chung

I know this is going to sound dumb.. But how do you make a new row?
