Help casting a dynamic user control to the type i need

Hi all, I am adding dynamic user controls with the simple code as follows:

MyPlaceHolder.C ontrols.Add(Loa dControl("MyUse rControl.ascx") );

I then want to run a member on my user control, something like:

MyPlaceHolder.C ontrols[i].TheMemberFunct ion();

However I cannot do this as it obviously has not cast the User Control to
its own type and therefore cannot reference the member function.

How can i cast my User Control into the "MyUserCont rol" before adding it
into the controls array for the place holder (or after for that matter?).
Any attemps sees error along the lines of "A control cannot be case to
UserControl".

Thank you for any help.
Kind Regards
Tarun

It appears the following code works:

MyPlaceHolder.C ontrols.Add(Loa dControl("AddTe stReferralTestD ata.ascx"));
AddTestReferral TestData refControl =
(AddTestReferra lTestData)MyPla ceHolder.Contro ls[i];

I have a file that provides details on which user control to populate a web page with at runtime. I'm able to create and load the control successfully, but now I need to cast it from Control to its specific type so I can access it's specific members. I have the type as a string ("MyUserControl" for example). So, having the name, how do I cast it from Control to this type? Thanks... Keith

Hi, I have a need for "dynamic type casting": in other words, in a "MyConvert" method I get passed an Object "value" and a Type "type" and the method should attempt to convert value into type. Of course it first tries to obtain the appropriate TypeConverter. However, for some types there are no applicable type converters. Consider a custom class "Dummy" from a linked assembly (in my scenario, neither the Dummy type nor its assembly...

I've always been a little sketchy on the differences between static, dynamic, and reinterpret casting. I am looking to clean up the following block by using C++ casting instead of the C style casting. from what I am reading, I should use reinterpret cast in this situation, is that correct? Why does static and dynamic casting fail me? // please excuse the windows types, it is necessary in this code, // but the question remains C++ related
