Dynamic web User Controls

[grahamxyz]

Hi all.

this is probably so simple but I've tried and failed!

I want to put my controls is a folder to keep the project tidy.
(seemed like a good idea).

so I ended up with this code:

                
Dim wucDayNum As Control = LoadControl("~/Controls/wucOnightOpsDayNum.ascx")
                wucDayNum.ID = "wucDayNum" + "1"
                pnlDayNum.Controls.Add(wucDayNum)

then I tried something like:

                Dim wucdn As wucOnightOpsDayNum = pnlDayNum.FindControl("wucDayNum1")

                Dim txtMyName As TextBox = DirectCast(pnlDayNum.FindControl("wucDayNum1"), wucOnightOpsDayNum)

both lines tell me that wucOnightOpsDayNum is not defined.

what is the syntax to find my control in the /controls folder?

thanks is advance.
