How can I dynamically load controls unto a windows form?
I need to write some custom controls that are a composite of other controls.
These custom controls needs to be dynamically loaded into a container, maybe
a panel.
I know this can easily be done in Asp.net. Now I need to duplicate this
trick in windows .net 2.0.

Dim NewButton As New Button()
NewButton.Text = "Hello World"
...
Me.Controls.Add(NewButton)

Take a look at user controls ("Project" -> "Add new element..." -> "User
control".
