Yeah, I meant method... grr, still stuck in VB6 mode... Anyways, this
is the whole sub I'm working on:

       private void test<T>(Panel targetpanel, string sQuery, string
sQueryParamName, string sParamVal, T sourcectrl) where
T:UserControl,new()
       {
           string Parameter;
           conn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=T:\
\RFQMT\\RFQMT Test\\RFQMT Data.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database
Password=tennis";
           OleDbConnection oleconn = new OleDbConnection(conn);
           oleconn.Open();

           Parameter = txtMemo.Text.ToString();

           OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sQuery, oleconn);
           cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
           cmd.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter(sQueryParamName,
sParamVal));
           DataTable dt = new DataTable("APs");

           OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
           da.Fill(ds, "AP");

           DataSource = new DataRowCollectionSocket(ds.AP.Rows);

           for (int i = 0; i < DataSource.Count; i++)
           {
               T tempctrl = new UserControl();
               //ctrlAPs tempctrl = new ctrlAPs();
               pnlAP.Controls.Add(tempctrl);
               tempctrl.Top = i * tempctrl.Height - 2;
               tempctrl.Left = 0;

               foreach (Control c in ctrlAPs1.Controls)
               {
                   Type ctrlType = c.GetType();
                   ConstructorInfo cInfo =
ctrlType.GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes);
                   Control retControl = (Control)cInfo.Invoke(null);

                   foreach (Binding ctrlBinding in c.DataBindings)
                   {
                       string BindingMember =
ctrlBinding.BindingMemberInfo.BindingMember;
                       string BindingField =
BindingMember.Substring(BindingMember.LastIndexOf("."));

tempctrl.Controls[c.Name].DataBindings.Clear();

tempctrl.Controls[c.Name].DataBindings.Add(ctrlBinding.PropertyName,
DataSource[i], BindingField);
                   }
                   PropertyInfo DSource =
ctrlType.GetProperty("DataSource");
                   if (DSource != null)
                       DSource.SetValue(retControl,
DSource.GetValue(c, null), null);
               }
               ctrlAPs2.Hide();
           }
           oleconn.Close();
       }

Originally, I had the query and usercontrol information hard coded.
It was a 'continuous form' of sorts, like you'd see in an Access
form.  Now I had different usercontrols that acted as different
'forms', but I didn't see any need in making one whole method per
control, which is why I'm trying to pass everything into this one.
Basically it clones the control onto a panel and rebinds the controls
in that panel to a dataset.  Now like I said, I could pass in the
panel (i.e. which panel on my form I wanted the control copied to),
but the usercontrol I couldn't.  That's why my question is, how to
pass in the control information like I can pass in the panel.  HTH

You mean

private void somesub<T>() where T : UserControl, new()
{
     T tempctrl = new T();
