Hi All,

I'd like to get a value from a db table e.g. "Label" or "Textbox", etc. use
it to create a control of that type.  I have tried...

Dim ct As Control 
CType(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(GetType(Control)).ConvertFromString(rdrFor
mBuild("controltype").ToString), Control)

but that is not correct since I'd like ct to be of type named in my
datatreader field, rdrFormBuild("controltype").  That is, if
rdrFormBuild("controltype") resolves to "Label" then I want my variable to
be of type Label.  Whaddya think?

FYI, my breakpoints are not working so it's really messing up my attempts to
work this out.
