VB.NET Equivalent?

what is the equivalent of this C# code in VB.NET:

UctlTest uctlTest;
uctlTest= (UctlTest)Page.LoadControl("UserControls/UctlTest.ascx");
if (plcTest.Controls.Count == 0)
    plcTest.Controls.Add(uctlTest);

UctlTest: user control

plcTest: PlaceHolder

I tried this: 

Dim uctlTestVB As UctlTestVB
uctlTestVB = CType(Page.LoadControl("~/UserControls/UctlTestVB.ascx"), UctlTestVB)
If (Equals(uctlTestVB.Controls.Count, 0)) Then         
    plcTest.Controls.Add(uctlTestVB)
End If

But count in VB.NET is equal to 1 whereas in C# it is equal to 0.

Notice you have an extra "~" symbol in your VB version, but not in your c#:

uctlTest= (UctlTest)Page.LoadControl("UserControls/UctlTest.ascx");

vs

uctlTestVB = CType(Page.LoadControl("~/UserControls/UctlTestVB.ascx"), UctlTestVB)

At a quick glance your code is checking a different control's child count.

C#: plcTest.Controls.Count

vs.

VB: uctlTestVB.Controls.Count

Yet the VB code still adds the loaded control to plcTest, but checks the count of the uctlTestVB instance.

The code is equivalent, your control probably isn't.

Why not load the same control in both snippets and verify they work the same.

Alternatively use the debugger/watch window and take a look at the Controls collection in both and find out how they differ
