Does anyone know how to use web user controls and placeholders?

Question

I'm trying to write a function in a class .cs file that loads web user controls into a placeholder that's located on my main.aspx page. Does anyone know how to do that? I am new to asp.net so an example would be really helpful! Thanks in advance! Jaime

A small correction the extension is not .asmx it is actually .ascx And the method is not CreateControl it is LoadControl. Sorry about that. It's nearly a year since i have worked with webforms currently i am more into WinForms. Jagan Mohan

Hi If the user control is going to have an extension .asmx then what you need to do is MyControl control = this.CreateControl(MyControl.asmx) //this - Page placeHolder.Controls.Add(control) If the user control is a custom control then MyControl control = new MyControl(); placeHolder.Controls.Add(control) Thanks Jagan Mohan
