To create an instance of a user control programmatically

1. In the user control, be sure that the  directive contains a ClassName attribute that assigns a class to the user control.

   The following example sets the ClassName attribute to strongly type a user control.

    

    

   <%@ Control className="MyUserControl" %>

2. In the page where you want to work with the user control, create a reference to the user control with the  directive.

   When you create the user control programmatically, the strong type for your user control is available to the ASP.NET Web page only after you have created a reference to it. For example, the following code creates a reference to a user control created in the MyUserControl.ascx file.

    

    

   <%@ Reference Control="MyUserControl.ascx" %>
   Note

   You use the  when you intend to load the control programmatically. You use the  directive when you add a user control to the page declaratively. For details, see .

3. Create an instance variable for the user control, using the control's class name. The class will be part of the ASP namespace.

   For example, if you want to create an instance of the user control declared as class Spinner, you use syntax such as the following:

   VB

    

   Protected Spinner1 As ASP.Spinner

    

   C#

    

   Protected ASP.Spinner Spinner1;

4. Create an instance of the user control in code by calling the  method.

5. Assign property values as necessary, and then add the control to the  collection of a container on the page, such as a  control.

   Note

   When you add controls to the  object using the  method, they are placed in the collection in the order they are processed. If you want to add a control to a specific position in the collection, use the  method and specify the index location where you want to store the control.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %><%@ Reference Control="~/Controls/Spinner.ascx" %>
