diff <usercontrol> & usercontrol.new()

[Sam]

there's no problem when calling my usercontrol class as follows:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="User" TagName="Element" Src="~/Element.ascx" %>
<User:Element id="elmFirstElement" runat="server">

but, there is a problem when i'm calling it like this:
controls.add(new Elements())

(i'm actually filling a placeholder with a bunch of my usercontrol's)
it seems like the Elements object isn't being filled with the
webcontrols defined in the ascx file.

could someone explain me how usercontrols initialize?

thanx.

Sam.

The solution was not to call the usercontrol.new(), but
Page.load("usercontrol.ascx")
