Dynamically Add ASP Controls

How do you dynamically add an asp taged control to a form on asp.net C# code behind? I am trying to do something similar to the following, but specifically where the string can change from Button to Textbox if needed.

string control1 = "asp:button";
HtmlGenericControl xControl = new HtmlGenericControl(control1);
body1.Controls.Add(xControl);

Is there a way to do this on a ASP.Net webform? I have tried the HtmlGenericControl but this is obviously not going to work. Any suggestions?

You can by adding div runat server c# code 

 Button btn = new Button();
 btn.Text = "test";
 maindiv.Controls.Add(btn);

html

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div runat="server" id="maindiv">

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
