loading custom server control dynamically

Question

User-357021789 posted

hello,

I have a custom server control which I can load statically in aspx page. how do I do load it dynamically in code behind? I have tried the Page_Init event but the controls defined in the aspx page and their initiation code seems to have been loaded by the time we hit Page_Init.

   protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {      
        Scon.ID = "dynamSCon";
        Scon.value = "MyValue";
        AddedControl(SCon,0);
    }

I have a feelign that this is due to implemenation of the control itself

Can someone please help.

so I found that if I add my dynamic control to a placeholder defined in my aspx. My server control will get added to the asp.net live cycle. 

Why is is that I can't just do a page.addcontrol?

Hello Ridgeback:)

Page_Init() is an event that will be raised at first. So maybe it hasn't been initialized. So you cannot dynamically add controls onto the page itself.

Maybe you can do this in the Page_Load:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {      
        Controls.Add(Your new control here);
    }
