My above example was incorrect, and I appologize. Your class inherits from System.Web.UI.Page? How exactly are you planning to use this class? If you are developing a class to sit on top of the Page Class to extend functionality you merely have to access the Controls collection of your class (it is inherited from Page). [C#]

...


protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
  this.Controls.Add(myControl);
}


...

[/C#] [VB]

...

Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As EventArgs)

  Me.Controls.Add(myControl)

End Sub

...
