Loading controls dynamically + passing parameters

[Jill Graham]

Hi,

I can use following syntax to add user controls directly to my pages :
<XYZ:myControl parameter1="value1" parameter2="value2" runat="server" />
The control "myControl" is executed using the supplied parameters parameter1
and parameter2

Now my question :
I've found two ways to add controls dynamically to my page :

method 1
---------
page.loadControl("<.ascx file>")

method 2
---------
activator.createInstance(type.getType("<class name>", true))

The problem is : how can I pass the parameters parameter1 and parameter2 to
the control ?


Thanks for any advice
Jill

Jill,

I'm not familiar with the first technique you mention.

But for loading dynamically the control should have properties to hold
the values for parameter1 and parameter2.

Then in the code for the page have a variable for the user control.

dim lControl as MyControl
lControl = LoadControl("MyControl.ascx")
page.Controls.Add(lControl)
lControl.parm1 = someValue


HTH,
Jim
