Hi Josh:

I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly by looking at the code
excerpt, or what is going wrong (is there an exception or error
message?). However, I strongly suspect you don't want to be using
Type.GetType and Activator.CreateInstance. If you just pass the ascx
file name to Page.LoadControl you'll get back a reference to a user
control that is instantiated and ready to be placed on a page. As it
stands it looks like you are discarding this reference.
