# Adding Tiles to a Specific Group

## Content



Tiles can be created at design time or programmatically. At design time they can be created using the **C1TileControl.Groups Collection Editor** and **Group.Tiles Collection Editor**. Tiles can also be created programmatically through the [Tile](/componentone/docs/win/online-tilecontrol/) class. The tiles can be inserted into the TilesCollection at the specified index using the [InsertItem](/componentone/docs/win/online-tilecontrol/) method. You can then add the tiles to the appropriate group using the Group.Tiles property.
