to load user control runtime

[Mahesh]

I've created a library of page templates and some user controls. These files reside on d: drive instead of c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webapp directory.

When I use LoadControl("webUC1.ascx"), it looks for this file in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webapp. How do I force it to look for the user control in any directory my d: drive. I can't specify physical path, because LoadControl() expects virtual path. I tried creating new Virtual Path for the library on d: drive. But LoadControl() complained, that it cannot use new virtual path because it belongs to different web application

Thanks
