Situation:



I am loading one or more custom server controls and user controls from a

single page, the catch is which controls that load is determined at 

runtime.

I have the fully qualified type name as a string value available at 

runtime

for any given control that is loading and I can create the control as type

Control:



System.Web.UI.Control oCtrl = Page.LoadControl("apps\\" +

oSnapClassView[0]["codemanifestpath"].ToString().Trim());

Page.Controls.Add(oCtrl );



adding  it to the Pages control collection but I need to wire up a common

event that all these controls implement.



I was looking at Reflection and can find many examples of how to invoke a

method or property but none which cover using reflection with a loaded

control to wire up an event handler in a containing page.

Does anyone have any advice, code, examples etc they can help me out with?

Thanks

I figured it out:



//get a type handle from a string

System.Type workingtype = System.Type.GetType(oSnapClassView[0]

["snapasptype"].ToString().Trim());

//load the control

System.Web.UI.Control oCon = Page.LoadControl("apps/" + oSnapClassView[0]

["codemanifestpath"].ToString().Trim());



//wire up SnapEvent Event to SnapCmdHandler

EventInfo menuevthandle = workingtype.GetEvent("SnapEvent");

menuevthandle.AddEventHandler(oCon, new SnapObjCmdHandler

(SnapCmdHandler));



Groovy huh?
