user controls and switch (C#)

i was wondering, can you use user controls in switch statements... for example

Code:

---

switch (section)
{
case "news":
    response.write("<usercontrol1:news></usercontrol1:news>");
    break;
case "downloads":
    response.write("<usercontrol1:downloads></usercontrol1:downloads>");
    break;
}

... etc

---

im using the querystring to pass along the section page i want to include and change images accordingly (less updating later on down the track)

can you do that? or is there another way?

i hope i made sense

Use the Page.LoadControl() method. This method allows you to dynamically add a user control to your page. The easiest way I think is to position a placeholder on your page and add it to the placeholder's controls collection.

ok... i got the first and second sentences, but the last one escapes me

what do you mean by placeholder?

(btw im not using a GUI like VS.NET... im using Dreamweaver MX)

The Placeholder control is a .NET server control.
