Dyamically add user control, along with properties?

Hello. I'm trying to dynamically load a user control which I created like this.

Dim sectionTitle1 As Control =
Page.LoadControl("~/Controls/SectionTitle.ascx")

However, I can't access any of the properties in sectionTitle1. What am I
missing?

Thank you!

With the code you havenow , you can only call the properties of the standard
Control class.
You need to convert it to your class type to call your properties.

Dim MySection as MyControlClassName = CType(sectionTitle1,
MyControlClassName)
MySection.MyProperty = "whatever"

Thanks, Steve, for your reply. That was the first thing I tried, but
intellisense did not pick up the control name so I assumed it wouldn't work.
I was wrong. I am also trying this with VS.Net 2005.. maybe that's a bug?

Again, thanks for your reply.
