Adding a Control to a Form

When a control is created during program execution, how can the control add
itself to the form's control collection?

I'd like to do this without the control or the form having to know specific
information about one another, like the newly control being able to obtain a
reference to the containing form.

Thanks,
Tom

You could do this as...

this.Controls.Add(MyNewControl);
