[resolved] Dynamic controls...
In VB6, you can add a control to a form by its name, ie
VB Code:
Controls.Add("VB.Label","SomeLabel")
Does such a beast exist in .NET? In other words, I don't necessarily want to have to declare something as a Textbox in order to add it to the form. I would like to declare a Control, and be able to choose what the type of control it will be at run time.

hmm I dont quite understand what you want to do. couldn't you just do something like this?
VB Code:
dim ctrl as control
if true = true then
ctrl = new textbox()
else
ctrl = new label
end if
me.controls.add ctrl

Not really, I don't think.
Written in VB6 already, I have a main container app (MDI), and it dynamically loads child forms and loads snap-in usercontrols by their ProgID (example - "SomeLib.SomeUsercontrol") onto the child form.
Can you think of a way to translate that into .NET?

Know what? Never mind...I just realized I could probably just change the usercontrol to a form, and load it into the MDI container as the entire form. Stupid VB6 has corrupted my thinking.
