Change asp.net html output when adding controls dynamically

I'm adding controls to a panel on an Asp.Net webforms page and I'd like to change the html it generates. A simplified example of what I'm doing:

Dim control1 As New HiddenField()
control1.ID = "Control1"
control1.Value = "Text"

Dim control2 As New HiddenField()
control2.ID = "Control2"
control2.Value = "Text"

Panel1.Controls.Add(control1)
Panel1.Controls.Add(control2)

This generates the following HTML:

<input type="hidden" name="Control1" id="Control1" value="Text" /><input type="hidden" name="Control2" id="Control2" value="Text" />

Is there a way to ensure that there's a newline in between every control? The current source is a pretty big mess when you add more controls. I'd like the html to be formatted like this:

<input type="hidden" name="Control1" id="Control1" value="Text" />
<input type="hidden" name="Control2" id="Control2" value="Text" />

Assuming both controls should be added to Panel1, try this...

Panel1.Controls.Add(control1)
Panel1.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(Environment.NewLine))
Panel1.Controls.Add(control2)

If you don't like how certain control generates itself, you can always create one yourself. This is a fairly simple example and I'm sure you'd have it done it few minutes.
