How to embed user control (ascx) from code behind C#?

Embedding user controls into html page is easy but what about embedding user controls dynamically from code behind c#? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Use LoadControl to load and create a control dynamically. Then you can add it to the page's control-collection.

UcType myControl = (UcType) LoadControl("UcType.ascx");
this.SomeContainerContainerControl.Controls.Add(myControl);

where UcType is the type of your UserControl and SomeContainerContainerControl is the control you want to add this uc like a Panel. If you want to add it on top of the page simply use this.Controls.Add(myControl).

You should add it in Page_Init or Page_Load (at the latest). You have to recreate it on every postback as every other dynamic control with the same ID as before (if any).

You can use the LoadControl() method and load it into a content control

example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    controls_example exmp = LoadControl("controls/example.ascx") as controls_example;
    myContentPanel.Controls.Add(exmp);
}
