Well, I came from an ASP background similar to you and JSP. Gotta get out of the mindset of nesting the server code with-in your aspx file. I assume you have VS.NET, use the code behind always, and I mean always, it's awsome. I'd recomend doing this:

aspx page:

<form formattributes...>
<div runat=server id="myDiv">
</form>

code behind:

protected void override OnPreRender(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
TextBox box = new TextBox();
for ( int iCounter = 0 ; iCounter < 10 ; iCounter++ )
{
string strName = "employeeid" + iCounter.ToString();
}

box.ID = strName;
box.Styles.Add(add your styles)
this.Controls.Add(box);
base.OnPreRender(e);
