dynamically loading usercontrols (vb.net)

[Darrel]

Anyone have a tutorial they'd recommend. I've found a few snippets here and
there, mostly in C#.

I'm specifically looking for the 'gotchas' I should look out for.

I'm building a mini-CMS tool for a web site. The pages all load a 'content'
usercontrol, but a few 'pages' using the template, based on a query string,
I'd like to also add a second, custom control.

Is it a simple matter of 'if querystring=whatever then load control'? Or is
there more to it that I need to be aware of?

Thanks scott, I'll try that. I did notice that those articles speak
specifically of Web Controls...not specifically User Controls. Is the
concept the same?

Answered my own question via trial and error. Wow...dynamic controls are
easier than I thought. Thanks!
