Hi All,

I wish to load some user controls on a web page dynamically.

I could use the LoadControl method, but there is a catch - the user
control needs to be dynamically built and then loaded at runtime. The
controls will not part of the initial project so they won't be
pre-compiled.

Is this possible in C#.NET + ASP.NET 1.1?

Thanks in advance. :)

Hi,

perhaps Page.ParseControl is what you are looking for?

For example

Control c = ParseControl("<asp:button text='Click here!' runat='server'
/>");
myPlaceholder.Controls.Add(c);

E.g you can parse control from the markup
