How do I put a user control into a table?

[Robin Bonin]

I have a user control that create a product thumbnail and details. I am
working on aother user control that I will pass some variables like # of
columns and rows to display these thumbnails. I'm having trouble dynamicly
adding a new thumbnail control to my table.

Dim newCell As New TableCell
Dim newRow As New TableRow
Dim productThumb As New htmlBlock_ProductThumb ' This is my
usercontrol

newCell.Controls.Add(productThumb) ' Not
sure how to add it to the table cell
newRow.Cells.Add(newCell)

FeaturedProducts.Rows.Add(newRow)

Robin,

When you load a user control it's slightly different than creating a dynamic
control.

newCell.Controls.Add(LoadControl([Path to your user control as String])

And you won't need to create the user control before this so delete the
line:

Dim productThumb As New htmlBlock_ProductThumb ' This is my usercontrol

Found the answer to my question.
for reference...

Dim newCell As New TableCell
Dim newRow As New TableRow
Dim productThumb As New Control

productThumb =
LoadControl("../userControls/htmlBlock_ProductThumb.ascx")
CType(productThumb, htmlBlock_ProductThumb).itemSku = "1001A"
newCell.Controls.Add(productThumb)

newRow.Cells.Add(newCell)
FeaturedProducts.Rows.Add(newRow)
