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_Produ ctThumb ' This is my
usercontrol

newCell.Control s.Add(productTh umb) ' Not
sure how to add it to the table cell
newRow.Cells.Ad d(newCell)

FeaturedProduct s.Rows.Add(newR ow)

Robin,

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

newCell.Control s.Add(LoadContr ol([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_Produ ctThumb ' 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_Produ ctThumb.ascx")
CType(productTh umb, htmlBlock_Produ ctThumb).itemSk u = "1001A"
newCell.Control s.Add(productTh umb)

newRow.Cells.Ad d(newCell)
FeaturedProduct s.Rows.Add(newR ow)

This worked great, I just have one problem.
I need to pass atleast one paramater to this control for the item ID to be
dsiplayed.

I declared the control as follows.
productThumb = LoadControl("../userControls/htmlBlock_Produ ctThumb.ascx")

but the public properties are not exposed though the productThumb control. I tried passing a variable
through the querry string but I got an error. control needs to end with a
.ascx.
