Question

I have a control which is repeated several times in a page. I’d like each occurrence to have a unique ID which I will define (not the horrible ID asp.net attaches). The problem is that I will only know the ID in run time.

I’d like in the .aspx to write the following:

<uc8:MyControl ID="<%=THEID%>" runat="server" />

but I know it doesn’t work. What’s the right way to approach this?

Thanks a lot!

You may add with code:

MyControl control = new MyControl();
control.ID == "myControl" + count.ToString();
ph.Controls.Add(control);

where ph – Placeholder or Panel control, count – some counter.
