How do I accomplish the fallowing (is it even possible). Say I write a UserControl
"MyControl.ascx". Now I use LoadControl("MyControl.ascx"). But I really
want MyControl to require parameters in the constructor for example MyContorl
oMyControl = new MyContorl(employeeid). However I need to load the control
at runtime so the have to call it this way LoadControl("MyControl.ascx")
and I get an error that I have not supplied any parameter to the constructor.
 Is there anyway around this? I guess I could change the control so that
I can insatiate it without supplying parameters and assigning the properties
later; but that doesn't seem like a very clean solution. Thanks in advance.
