Calling a user control dynamically.

Question

Hello,
I need to know how to access the user controls dynamically.
There is a drop down list with the name of the forms. If the user selects a form and hits submit some user controls should be displayed based on the selected form.

There is a table which contains the Form Name. name of user control and the order in which they should appear. Based on this table can i call the user controls and place them in the screen. Please let know how this can be done?

Thanks

Use Place holder control to place the user control dynamically.
Here is some lines:

    string userControlName = "UserControl1.ascx"; 
 
    Control control1 ;
    control1 = LoadControl( userControlName );
    placeHolderControl1.Controls.Clear();
    placeHolderControl1.Controls.Add( control1 );
